Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire presents a study of third century Rome, which is lavishly illustrated and a lucid read, typical of Michael Grant's inimitable style. 'A good read, a good introduction and a useful book for anyone even slightly hesitant in their later Roman history.' - JACT Review

'Grants gift has been to make the basic trends of classical civilization accessible to general readers while maintaining first-rate standards of scholarship.' - Booklist Chicago
