The period between 150 and 750 AD. - is the era in which the most seemingly immutable ancient institutions disappear forever. By 476 in Western Europe, the Roman Empire had ceased to exist, and by 655 in the Middle East, the Persian Empire. Peter Brown's now classic study is an attempt to understand what distinguished the late antique world from classical antique civilization and how these changes predetermined different paths of development in Europe and the Middle East. The author explores the social transformations and the reactions of contemporaries to them to answer one of the key questions of world history: how and why did the Mediterranean world split into three distinct societies of the Middle Ages - Catholic Western Europe, Orthodox Byzantium, and the Islamic Middle East? Peter Brown (b. 1935) is one of the founders of Late Antique studies and a professor of history at Princeton University.
