The Fall Of Rome

The Book is written by Bryan Ward-Perkins, with the title The precipitation Of capital of Italy And the End of Civilization and printed by Oxford University Pres in 2005. John Bryan Ward-Perkins was born in 1912 in UK. He was a British historian and archeologist and director of British School at Rome. During WWII he served in military, during which he gained the knowledge of Tripolitania and roman print ruins which led him to take following in history.In 1946 he accepted the position of Director at British school at Rome and stayed on this position till 1974. The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization, addresses the general perception of innovative historians slightly the benign change from Roman Empire to Christianity. The author corrects this thinking done archaeological evidence. He mentions that it was the coming of German tribes and their long term do that led to the dissolution of Roman Empire.The main argument which I grow different from the normal text books is the telling of story of fall of pudding stone from the other side. For example, he mentions that the transition of Roman Empire was neither nor sedate instead it was Germanic tribes (Vandals, Visigoth) etc who crossed the river Rhine in 5th BC and took some(prenominal) they wanted by force rather than through treaties or negotiations. He argues that one of the main reasons for collapse of Roman Empire was decline of Roman economy through many centuries.He provides a reality check to modern readers shocking them with the truth about a Rome that was caught in stinting collapse, rebellions from barbarians and rise of new orthodoxy all of which became the reasons Rome collapse. The book provides interesting appreciation into the fall of Roman Empire from a different view compared to habitual thinking in schools and text books. I believe this book is infixed for any history student to look at a prominent event of history from a different perspective.
