The City in Late Antiquity charts the change undergone by cities as the Empire was weakened by the third-century crisis, and later disintegrated under external pressures. The old picture of the classical city as everywhere in decline by the fourth century is shown to be far too simple, and John Rich seeks to explain why urban life disappeared in some regions, while elsewhere cities survived through to the Middle Ages and beyond.Leicester-Nottingham studies in ancient society ;v. 3.Cities and townsRomeElectronic books.Cities and towns307307.7609015307.7609376Rich John1944-467294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454566803321The City in late antiquity2234192UNINA
