4.0 out of 5 stars Rome Collapsed Under Its Own Weight
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2008
So far, I've read four of the books in the Development of Western Civilization series from Cornell University Press. I have eight more to read. This book is the best of what I've read so far. Katz gives a clear explanation of why Rome's fall was the result of many factors, including financial turmoil, cultural and religious shifts and infiltration of non-Romans into the military machine. Katz is at his best in the relatively long chapter five, Europe in Transition. In it, he surveys the many changes that accompanied the decline of Rome and Germanic cultures, the division of the eastern and western empires, the rising cost of centralized government, the rise of the Roman church and changes in art and architecture. I recommend this well-written little survey to anyone wanting a quick background on the fall of Rome.
