From Constantine to Charlemagne

An Archaeology of Italy AD 300–800

By: Neil Christie

This book offers an overview of the archaeological and structural evidence for one of the most vital periods of Italian history, spanning the late Roman and early medieval periods. The chronological scope covers the adoption of Christianity and the emergence of Rome as the seat of Western Christendom, the break-up of the Roman west in the face of internal decay and the settlement of non-Romans and Germanic groups, the impact of Germanic and Byzantine rule on Italy until the rise of Charlemagne and of a Papal State in the later eighth century. Presenting a detailed review and analysis of recent discoveries by archaeologists, historians, art historians, numismatists and architectural historians, Neil Christie identifies the changes brought about by the Church in town and country, the level of change within Italy under Rome before and after occupation by Ostrogoths, Byzantines and Lombards, and reviews wider changes in urbanism, rural exploitation and defence. The emphasis is on human settlement on its varied levels - town, country, fort, refuge - and the assessment of how these evolved and the changes that impacted on them. Too long neglected as a 'Dark Age', this book helps to further illuminate this fascinating and dynamic period of European history.

Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, is a carefully honed version of the best-selling Civilization Past and Present, Ninth Edition. This first brief survey of world history published in four-color, Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, treats the development and growth of civilization as a global experience through which all the great culture systems have interacted to produce the present-day world. This new text considers all types of history social, economic, political, military, diplomatic, religious, aesthetic, intellectual, and technological as it examines that global interaction. Maintained throughout this compelling, brief survey are a consistent writing style and level of presentation uncommon in multi-authored texts. Its full-color format, abundant pedagogical aids, unique Discovery Through Maps feature, primary source documents, and end-of-chapter annotated website URLs make this book the most user-friendly available in this market. Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, offers the content, features and pedagogy of a "big" text but in a briefer, four-color format. Finally, a book for students that is truly manageable and provocative.
