Abstract

Late antiquity is the name historians have given to the period that bridges the gap between the “classical” era of antiquity (which culminated in the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace) and the medieval era, which saw the rise of European kingdoms in the west and the Byzantine Empire in the east. Many historians generally consider this period to begin with an array of crises that arose in the third century and the transformational effects of the Roman government’s efforts to deal with them.
