Between 270 and 535 AD the city of Rome underwent a dramatic transformation, from an imperial capital into the centre of western Christendom. This volume focuses on the city's senatorial elite to provide a uniquely comprehensive view of the period, arguing that its transformation was the result of a process of great political and cultural dynamism.
