Abstract

"The death of the Roman Empire is one of the perennial mysteries of world history. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Peter Heather proposes a stunning new solution: Rome generated its own nemesis. Centuries of imperialism turned the neighbors it called barbarians into an enemy capable of dismantling the Empire that had dominated their lives for so long." "In The Fall of the Roman Empire, he explores the extraordinary success story that was the Roman Empire and uses a new understanding of its continued strength and enduring limitations to show how Europe's barbarians, transformed by centuries of contact with Rome on every possible level, eventually pulled it apart." "Peter Heather convincingly argues that the Roman Empire was not on the brink of social or moral collapse. What brought it to an end were the barbarians."--Jacket.

Abstract

De l'Écosse jusqu'à la Mésopotamie, de l'embouchure du Rhin jusqu'aux contreforts de l'Atlas, Rome a dominé durant près de cinq siècles un immense territoire, et a remporté jusqu'au bout des succès décisifs, notamment contre Attila en 451. Peter Heather rouvre le dossier en déplaçant le point de vue. Brassant une superbe documentation avec un art consommé du récit, il s'intéresse autant à la vie culturelle, économique et politique de l'Empire qu'à celle des « Barbares ». Qu'il s'agisse des peuples germaniques ou, plus encore, des Huns, l'auteur fait revivre de l'intérieur la logique des adversaires de Rome. Considérée comme un classique, cette histoire nouvelle de la fin de l'empire romain est enfin traduite en français.
