The World of Late Antiquity AD 150–750 (Folio Society edition) by Peter Brown explores the transformative period between the height of the Roman Empire and the early Middle Ages, revealing a world of profound cultural, religious, and political change. Rather than viewing this era as one of decline, the book highlights its creativity and resilience, examining the rise of Christianity, the evolution of classical traditions, and the emergence of new societies across Europe and the Near East. Through rich narrative and insightful analysis, it portrays how old institutions adapted and new identities formed, offering a nuanced understanding of how the ancient world gradually gave way to the medieval age, shaping the foundations of modern Western and Middle Eastern civilizations. Please review all photos for your best idea of condition. Book is in excellent shape except for most pages in the book have sentences that have been underlined. The slip case shows some minor shelfware rubbing.
