The Later Roman Empire, AD 284-430

Averil Cameron, Fellow of the British Academy Warden Keble College Averil Cameron — 1993

Marked by a power shift from Rome to Constantinople and the Christianization of the Empire, this era requires a narrative and interpretative history of its own. Cameron, an authority on later Roman and early Byzantine history and culture, captures the pivotal fourth century, doing justice to the enormous explosion of recent scholarship.
