Useful introduction to the history of the later (post-Diocletian) Roman Empire. Religious, political, military and economic issues dominate. Contains good, if now slightly dated guide to further reading. ( ) Acosado por invasiones, guerras civiles y dificultades internas durante todo un siglo, el Imperio Romano que hereda Diocleciano el año 284 estaba desesperadamente necesitado de la dirección que imprimió este emperador a la administración y al ejército. Su sucesor, Constantino, consiguió la consolidación del poder imperial por medio de la adopción de una nueva y vibrante religión, el cristianismo, que podía unir un imperio inclinado naturalmente hacia la diversidad y la divergencia. El siglo IV fue un período decisivo, cuyos numerosos cambios y amplia diversidad cultural quedaron reflejados en la obra de su principal historiador, Amiano Marcelino, y en la aparición de figuras tan diferentes como Juliano el Apóstata y san Agustín, con quien precisamente acaba el libro. Averil Cameron pone de manifiesto el papel esencial desde el punto de vista teológico e histórico de Agustín de Hipona, con sus Confesiones, la primera autobiografía psicológica que conocemos, y con La ciudad de Dios, respuesta al saqueo de Roma por parte de Alarico en el año 410, y su madura reflexión sobre el papel de Dios en la historia. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A comprehensive study which introduces the reader to the vigour and variety of the fourth century AD. After being beset by invasion, civil war and internal difficulties for a century, the Roman Empire that Diocletian inherited in AD 284 desperately needed the organizational drive he brought to the task of putting its administration and defences on a newly secure footing. His successor, Constantine, sustained this consolidation of imperial strength by adopting a vibrant new religion, Christianity. The fourth century AD was a decisive period; its many new challenges and wide cultural diversity are reflected in the pages of its chief historian, Ammianus Marcellinus, and represented by figures as different as Julian the Apostate and St Augustine. Not only providing a vivid narrative of events, this book also draws on archaeological and artistic evidence to illuminate such central issues as economy, social structure, defence, religion and culture. 'The Later Roman Empire' is indispensable to students, and a compelling guide for anyone interested in the cultural development of late antiquity, or in the structure, evolution and fate of empires more generally.
