The impact of Roman civilisation on the Empire's clients in the West forms the subject of the initial parts of this volume. Even the most successful Germanic kingdoms of the 5th-6th century, the author argues, such as that of the Vandals in North Africa, could not escape the grasp of the Roman Empire: their politics and culture remained conditioned by imperial models and by the continuing reality of imperial power throughout late antiquity. The subsequent articles deal with the "Historica Augusta", but approaching that difficult text from the periphery, by first attempting to establish its broad literary and topical context before considering questions of its nature and date.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful set of studies on a misunderstood people,
By Craig Stevenson (Adelaide, SA, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Late Roman West and the Vandals (Variorum Collected Studies, Cs 401) (Hardcover)
When searching for information on the Vandals, I found that most books were either too lacking in information, or too interested in certain aspects of the tribe. When I found this book, I was intensely releived. It covered various aspects and questions that I had faced in studying this topic in a clear way, divided up into sections from various lectures and papers that Clover had presented. Well worth the time to look over, if you are academically minded and are having trouble finding more details than usual books include.
