The Fall of Rome: End of a Superpower

Nick Holmes
4.25/5 (374 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
WHY DID ROME FALL?

In this gripping retelling of one of the most momentous chapters in history, Nick Holmes presents a new interpretation of an old story. The fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers and barbarians but also by an environmental disaster.

A catastrophic megadrought on the Asian steppes in the fourth century AD forced the migration of entire peoples - Huns, Goths, Vandals and others - west into the Roman Empire. As human-made climate change accelerates today, this tale presents us with a grim warning from the past.

This is the second book in a multi-volume series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. The first book, The Roman Revolution , describes ‘the crisis of the third century’ and Rome’s adoption of Christianity. The third book, due out later in 2023, will continue with the fall of the western empire and the rise of Attila the Hun.
