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. 410 0$aLeicester-Nottingham studies in ancient society ;$vv. 3. 606 $aCities and towns$zRome 615 0$aCities and towns 676 $a307 676 $a307.7609015 676 $a307.7609376 701 $aRich$b John$f1944-$0467294 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819893303321 996 $aThe city in late antiquity$94039728 997 $aUNINA
