Quotes by Chris Wickham (?)

“he sacked Rome in 410, an event which shocked the Roman world much as 11 September 2001 shocked the United States, a huge, upsetting, symbolic blow to its self-confidence; but it was without other repercussions,”
― Chris Wickham, The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000

“Theoderic ruled Italy from Ravenna, the western Roman capital, with a traditional Roman administration, a mixture of senatorial leaders from the city of Rome and career bureaucrats; he was (as Odovacer had also been) respectful of the Roman senate,”
― Chris Wickham, The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000

“Roman envoys to Attila’s court in 449 greatly offended the Huns when they said that, although Attila was a man, Theodosius II was a god; this was a self-evident statement in Roman eyes, even though the envoys were doubtless overwhelmingly Christian.”
― Chris Wickham, The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000
