James J. O'Donnell's "The Ruin of the Roman Empire" is written with an overture, three acts and an epilogue. The book gives a brilliant image of life in 500-604: what people ate, health conditions, the lot of women and children, what the clothing was like, bathing habits and travel. In addtion you will learn about Theoderic, Justinian and Gregory and the message those Roman years have for us today.
