The Later Roman Empire: AD 284-430

Salutations all. I have read this book for a college course at UC Riverside. I admit Cameron's book is difficult to digest, but it is intigueing nonetheless (read the last chapter for a preview of our own civilization's collapse. The book scans the Western Empire: Diocletian, Constantine, Julian, Theodosius, and prominent barbarians. That said, it focuses primarily on the West although signifigant portions are alotted to the city of Constantinople and its military catastrophes up until the dynsty of Theodosius. There are at lesat two chapters covering the West's society & culture and government. There is one chapter set aside for Christianity with some startling evidence of the harsh behavior Christians held towards humanity. Worth reading
