History of Rome and the Popes in the Middle Ages

This captivating work explores the intricate history of the medieval Popes, set against the rich backdrop of Rome and its vibrant civilization. The author skillfully intertwines these two narratives to create an authentic depiction of what Rome represented during the Middle Ages. Volume one delves into the state of the Roman Empire at the close of the fourth century, the climactic battle between Paganism and Christianity (AD 394), the emergence of the Primacy of Peter, and the churchs enduring conflict with Arianism.
