What Happened After Rome Fell?
In The Inheritors of Rome, Nick Holmes concludes his series on the Fall of the Roman Empire with a bold and thought-provoking examination of the world that followed the fall.
From the collapse of Roman civilization to the rise of Charlemagne's empire, from the explosive expansion of early Islam to the resilience of Byzantium, and from the devastation of the Vikings to the birth of medieval Europe, he paints a sweeping, interconnected portrait of a world in upheaval.
Holmes sheds new light on forgotten turning points, revealing how environmental pressures, religious conflict, economic dislocation and cultural reinvention laid the foundations for modern Europe and Islam.
Challenging traditional narratives and rich with fresh insight, The Inheritors of Rome is essential reading for anyone curious about how catastrophe gave rise to new civilizations-and how the echoes of that transformation still shape our world today.
