WORLD OF LATE ANTIQUITY (WORLD OF ART) (PB)

How did the remarkably united Mediterranean of the first century AD turn into three estranged societies: Catholic Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world? Peter Brown, now Emeritus Professor of history at Princeton, set out to address this question, and in this renowned book he presents his findings on the differences between ‘classical civilization’ and the Late Antique world, whose divergent legacies are still with us today. Features a new preface and updated with colour illustrations throughout.
