What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

After the removal of the last Western emperor from the Imperial throne in 476, Rome was catapulted into 500 years of war & confusion, a period characterized by repeated barbarian invasions, by political turmoil & doctrinal struggles between East & West, by the emergence of secular power beyond the Alps & by great changes in the role of the papacy. The author's analysis of the influences at work in Rome during this period includes the latest scholarly research on this obscure period. He draws on both contemporary chronicles & letters & modern sources to trace the ebb & flow of Roman history from the comparative peace of the Ostrogoth King Theodoric's rule in the 5th century to the coronation of the Saxon King Otto as emperor in the 10th century, which ushered in a new era in Christian Europe. He presents a graphic picture of the devastation of Rome at the hands of successive waves of marauders.Rome and the OstrogothsThe Gothic WarsThe Rome of Gregory the GreatThe Roman church and clergyRome and the Byzantine EmpireRome of the pilgrimsRome and the LombardsRome and the FranksRome and the Carolingian EmpireRome and the Dynasts
