How To Academy | Will the West Fall Like Rome? | History Professor Peter Heather @HowToAcademyMindset | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Is the West doomed to be the next Roman Empire? Can we learn something from its fall? Medieval historian Peter Heather thinks we can – and must. What can we learn about the decline of the west from the fall of the roman empire?
Was decline inevitable for Rome and is it inevitable for the US too? Historian Peter Heather is the co-author of Why Empires Fall, a new book exploring the parallels between the 5th century and the 21st. He joins Luke Naylor-Perrott to explore what new lessons we can learn from ancient history.
Peter Heather is Chair of Medieval History at King's College, London. His many books include The Fall of the Roman Empire, Empires and Barbarians: Migration, Development and the Birth of Europe, The Restoration of Rome, Rome Resurgent and, most recently, Christendom.
