"In The Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire Michael Grant examines the reasons for the collapse of the third-century Roman Empire including analyses of the succession of emperors, the Germans and the Persians and conversely, the reasons for its recovery including discussions of strong emperors, a reconstituted army, finance and coinage and state religion." "The Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire presents a concise study of third-century Rome, which is a lavishly illustrated and lucid read, typical of Michael Grant's style and learning."--Jacket.
