This remarkable study in social and cultural change explains how and why the Late Antique world, between c.
150 and c.
, came to differ from 'Classical civilization'.
These centuries, as the author demonstrates, were the era in which the most deep-rooted of ancient institutions disappeared for all time.
By 476 the Roman empire had vanished from western Europe; by 655 the Persian empire had vanished from the Near East.
The result is a lucid answer to a crucial question in world history; how the exceptionally homogeneous Mediterranean world of c.
200 A.
became divided into the three mutually estranged societies of the Middle Ages: Catholic Western Europe, Byzantium, and Islam.
We still live with the results of these contrasts.
