D., the recovery under Diocletian and Constantine, the evolution in the fourth century of a new, stable Empire, and the new crises of the fifth and sixth centuries that resulted in the emergences of the proto-medieval states in the West and the Byzantine Empire in the East. Social and economic developments will receive special emphasis throughout. The reading will consist of primary sources in translation and some interpretative material. 1.00 units, Lecture
