The World of Late Antiquity

Peter Brown

This remarkable study in social and cultural change explains how and why the Late Antique world, between c. 150 and c. 750, came to differ from “Classical civilization.” These centuries, as the author demonstrates, were the era in which the most deeply rooted of ancient institutions disappeared for all time. By 476 the Roman empire had vanished from western Europe; by 655 the Persian empire had vanished from the Near East. Peter Brown, Professor of History at Princeton University, examines these changes and men’s reactions to them, but his account shows that the period was also one of outstanding new beginnings and defines the far-reaching impact both of Christianity on Europe and of Islam on the Near East.
