Quelles sont les raisons du declin et de la chute de l'Empire romain? Depuis des siecles, philosophes et historiens ont, pour resoudre cette enigme, avance les explications les plus contradictoires beaucoup sont seduisantes, aucune n'est totalement convaincante.Ramsay MacMullen a decide de reprendre la question a son origine meme: y a-t-il eu reellement declin de Rome - ou le declin n'est-il qu'une invention d'historiens nee de notre connaissance de l'evenement que fut la chute de Rome? Pour repondre, en se fondant sur les faits et non sur les interpretations, Ramsay MacMullen examine la situation de l'empire, province par province, d'apres les sources litteraires, epigraphiques, archeologiques: le tableau qu'il dresse apporte bien des surprises et oblige a reviser les idees preconcues.
Ensuite, Ramsay MacMullen examine le fonctionnement des institutions et structures du pouvoir: il montre a quel point la corruption - pots de vin, extorsions, concussion -, encouragee par la perversion du droit, la multiplication des fonctionnaires et l'isolement de l'empereur, a mine la notion meme de pouvoir, preparant la voie ineluctable de sa destruction.Le livre de Ramsay MacMullen ne nous revele pas seulement comment est mort l'Empire Romain, il est aussi une lecon sur le destin de toute civilisation.Professeur emerite de l'universite de Yale, Ramsay MacMullen est sans doute le meilleur historien contemporain de la fin de l'Empire romain. Il a notamment publie Les Rapports entre les classes sociales dans l'Empire romain, Le Paganisme dans l'Empire, et, aux Belles Lettres: Christianisme et Paganisme du IVe au VIIIe siecle, La Romanisation a l'epoque d'Auguste et Les Emotions dans l'Histoire ancienne et moderne.
