Domination: The Fall of the Roman Empire and the Rise of Christianity explores the dramatic transformation of the Roman world as Christianity ascended.

Alice Roberts examines how early Christianity was not a grassroots movement but a strategic shift embraced by elites.

The book investigates the political and economic factors that contributed to the spread of Christian ideas and the reshaping of Roman society.

Roberts analyzes the cultural evolution and historical context, offering a fresh perspective on this foundational era.

The book challenges traditional narratives, presenting the fall of Rome as a rebrand rather than a collapse, with Christianity playing a central role in this transformation.
