Heyer deliberately created a false image designed to hurt people who had just been nearly annihilated. One of the antagonistic figures in the text is a man named Goldhanger, a Jewish moneylender who is described (courtesy of the amazing blog Smart Bitches Trashy Books) as “a thin, swarthy individual, with long greasy curls, a semitic nose, and an ingratiating leer.” Goldhanger is a villain in the books because of the financial trouble that the Rivenhall family has gone through.

Attacking contemporary theories with relish and making use of modern archaeological evidence, he looks at both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and also the consequences for the lives of everyday Romans, who were caught in a world of economic collapse, marauding barbarians, and the rise of a new religious orthodoxy. Indeed, he sees the fall of Rome as a time of horror and dislocation that destroyed a great civilization, throwing the inhabitants of the West back to a standard of living typical of prehistoric times. Was the fall of Rome a great catastrophe that cast the West into darkness for centuries to come? Or, as scholars argue today, was there no crisis at all, but simply a peaceful blending of barbarians into Roman culture, an essentially positive transformation? InThe Fall of Rome, eminent historian Bryan Ward-Perkins argues that the "peaceful" theory of Rome's "transformation" is badly in error. ![]() |
