Roman History

msalzman@ias.edu

Statement: Based on new research on papal letters along with epigraphic and textual evidence, my book challenges the popular "decline and fall" interpretation of Rome from 270 to 603 CE. I argue for the creative and competitive engagement of senators, bishops, and generals that resulted in a collective restoration of the city in response to crises.
