The essays in this second collection of articles by Professor Liebeschuetz deal with several aspects of the history of Late Antiquity. One theme is the prehistory of Late Antique ethical monotheism, another is the nature of the people who took over large areas of the Western Roman Empire, especially the Visigoths and the Vandals, and their ethnogenesis. Other papers deal with the historiography of Late Antiquity, and, more generally, with the writings of historians from Thucydides to A.H.M. Jones and Peter Brown. A recurring theme is the relationship between the historian's own background and his or her writing.
