With the imperial vestments dispatched to Constantinople, the curtain fell on the Roman empire in Western Europe, its territories divided among successor kingdoms constructed around barbarian military manpower. But, if the Roman Empire was dead, Romans across much of the old empire still lived, holding on to their lands, their values, & their institutions. The conquering barbarians, responding to Rome's continuing psychological dominance & the practical value of many of its institutions, were ready to reignite the imperial flame & enjoy the benefits. As Peter Heather shows in dazzling biographical portraits, ea. of the 3 greatest immediate contenders for imperial power--Theoderic, Justinian, & Charlemagne--operated w/ a different power base but was astonishingly successful in his own way. Though ea. in turn managed to put back together enough of the old Roman West to stake a plausible claim to the Western imperial title, none of their empires long outlived their founders' deaths. Not until the reinvention of the papacy in the 11th century would Europe's barbarians find the means to establish a new kind of Roman Empire, one that has lasted 1,000 years. A sequel to the bestselling "Fall of the Roman Empire", "The Restoration of Rome" offers a captivating narrative of the death of an era & the birth of the Catholic Church. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: PETER HEATHER is Professor of Medieval History at King's College London.
