My book on the chronicles of the fifth-century A.D.
During the 1970s and 80s I studied history writing in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. This resulted in my 1990 book, The Fifth-Century Chroniclers: Prosper, Hydatius and the Chronicler of 452. These writers are important witnesses to what's usually called the fall of the Roman Empire. They are also among the earliest chronicles written in Latin, and from a Christian point of view.
This book is a real specialist's book but a quarter-century after publication it is still in print, which indicates it still meets the needs of people studying the Late Roman Empire.
