Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity
The
Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity, now covering the
period 395-700 AD, provides both a detailed introduction to late
antiquity and a direct challenge to conventional views of the end
of the Roman empire. Leading scholar Averil Cameron focuses on
the changes and continuities in Mediterranean society as a whole
before the Arab conquests. Two new chapters survey the situation
in the east after the death of Justinian and cover the Byzantine
wars with Persia, religious developments in the eastern
Mediterranean during the life of Muhammad, the reign of
Heraclius, the Arab conquests and the establishment of the
Umayyad caliphate.

Using the latest in-depth archaeological evidence, this all-round
historical and thematic study of the west and the eastern empire
has become the standard work on the period. The new edition takes
account of recent research on topics such as the barbarian
‘invasions’, periodization, and questions of decline or
continuity, as well as the current interest in church councils,
orthodoxy and heresy and the separation of the miaphysite church
in the sixth-century east. It contains a new introductory survey
of recent scholarship on the fourth century AD, and has a full
bibliography and extensive notes with suggestions for further
reading.
