A sweeping historical account of the Later Roman Empire incorporating the latest scholarly research

In the newly revised 3rd edition of A History of the Later Roman Empire, 284-700, distinguished historians Geoffrey Greatrex and Stephen Mitchell deliver a thoroughly up-to-date discussion of the Later Roman Empire. It includes tables of information, numerous illustrations, maps, and chronological overviews. As the only single volume covering Late Antiquity and the early Islamic period, the book is designed as a comprehensive historical handbook covering the entire span between the Roman Empire to the Islamic conquests.

The rest of the work has been updated and revised, providing readers with a sweeping historical survey of the struggles, triumphs, and disasters of the Roman Empire, from the accession of the emperor Diocletian in AD 284 to the closing years of the seventh century. It also offers:
A thorough description of the massive political and military transformations in Rome’s western and eastern empires

Comprehensive explorations of the latest research on the Later Roman Empire

Practical discussions of the tumultuous period ushered in by the Arab conquests
