Domination

‘The story of how the Roman Empire became the Christian Empire has never been better explained. Alice Roberts’s narrative energy and readability makes Domination a historical thriller of the highest quality’ – Stephen Fry‘An incisive, provocative and sometimes polemical account of one of the most important organisations in human history’ – New Scientist‘Domination blasts new light into the seemingly dark moments when Christianity emerged as the predominant religion of empires. Sweeping across texts, objects, individuals, and putting material culture and archaeological revelations centre stage, this is an epic reevaluation of a time that still defines so many across the world to the present day. Roberts’s captivating writing takes you on a journey back through time, unravelling mysteries by plunging into the earth to see the echoes left by people, their beliefs and their systems of power’ – Janina Ramirez‘A wonderfully accessible slice of archaeological history’ – i
