Popes and the Church of Rome in Late Antiquity considers the ability of the Roman church to gain access to wealth, retain it in difficult times, and disburse it in ways that enhanced its authority.

Rezensionen
"...the grand sweep of the late antique Roman episcopate is here, told through the stories of individual popes moving through the changing landscape of Late Antiquity. The sources are mostly used wisely. The relative importance of each pope is considered. And broader themes of the history of Late Antiquity are not lost in individual stories. This volume, then, can be read with profit by scholars both of the church and of Late Antiquity. It will also be a welcome addition for teaching."
