Barbarian invasions and the spread of Christianity share the dubious honor of being reputed the main causes of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Pocock not only doubts that this interpretation is correct, but he doubts that this was Gibbon's thought. The ancient world was consumed by itself, where barbarians and Christians saved what could be saved and beaqueathed it to modern Europe. This is the fascinating subject of the last two volumes of the series 'Barbarism and Religion'.

Abstract
Barbarian invasions and the spread of Christianity share the dubious honor of being reputed the main causes of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Pocock not only doubts that this interpretation is correct, but he doubts that this was Gibbon's thought. The ancient world was consumed by itself, where barbarians and Christians saved what could be saved and beaqueathed it to modern Europe. This is the fascinating subject of the last two volumes of the series 'Barbarism and Religion'.File in questo prodotto:
