In this Virtual Open House, Ralston Provost and Professor of Latin Dr David Butterfield discusses the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. What brought the Western Empire to its end? If, as is clearly the case, many factors united in its collapse, which of those should rank most importantly? This discussion, aimed at prospective applicants to Ralston's MA in the Humanities, is followed by a Q&A session with those who joined the Zoom call, recorded on 30 January 2026.
