The second edition of A History of the Later Roman Empire features many revisions and updates to the highly-acclaimed, sweeping historical survey of the struggles, triumphs and disasters of the Roman Empire during the period from the accession of the emperor Diocletian in AD 284 to the death of Heraclius in 641. Author Stephen Mitchell reveals the massive political and military transformations in Romes western and eastern empires that led to its decline and gave way to the emergence of medieval and modern Europe and the Islamic world. Major episodes in Romes social and political history are discussed in a series of narrative and thematic chapters, and include the Christian conversion of Constantine, the establishment of a Christian Empire in Constantinople and  Justinians attempt in the 6th-century to restore the greatness of the Roman Empire. Individual chapters address topics including the nature of the late Roman state, the emergence and character of the Western barbarian kingdoms, the epochal religious changes of late antiquity, and systematic discussions of Romes economy and society. The concluding sections of the book, including an entirely new chapter, provide a detailed analysis of the complex reasons for Romes decline and eventual fall,including the catastrophic world-wide outbreak of bubonic plague in 542, the failure of the state to maintain its tax revenues,  the 7th-century eclipse of Roman power after a final war with the rival Persian Empire of the Sassanians, and the emergent influence of Islam in the Arab world. Grounded in the latest scholarship, the second edition of A History of the Later Roman Empire confirms its reputation as the best single-volume overview of the politics, institutions, and military affairs that shaped the decline of one of historys greatest empires.
