Please tell me you have finally bought this excellent book !!! I have been advising you to get as long as I'v known you .F aetius also theres recomendations on that page 1 from Goldsworthy is good too. Gives a slightly different argument

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

I'm looking for it, and I have a book for Adrian Goldsworthy, In fact, I just found Heather's book on Amazon, but I'm gonna check my local bookstores first, If I can't find it there I will buy it online.

I am a big Peter Heather fan if thats the right way to desribe it ? Anyway I think I said it elsewhere too , but his most recent book is Par Excellence I recomend it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Empires-Barb.../dp/0333989759
The Adrian Goldsworthy book starts the narative in the third century, he sees the collaspse starting there. Read them you'll see

I've read about heathers point of view on the collapse. I agree with them completely.
Thanks for the link. +rep!

Peter Heather's book is fantastic. I read it back several years ago and I recall that it really sparked my interest in Late Antiquity; his account of the Roman presence gradually evolving and decaying in Noricum is very insightful.

I must confess that I prefer Adrian G solely based on the fact that I find him more physically attractive than Peter Heather. Adrian has that flamboyant and nonchalant charm of a seasoned gentleman, while Peter Heather's nerdish looks reveals the fact that he's probably a virgin.

If there was a war going on - who would you follow to certain death? A 50 year old-virgin or a handsome and strong man with a full head of hair? Yes, that's what I thought.

YOU need help my friend

Hahahahaha...well, war does things to men. You never know...maybe he'd become a crazy sexfiend...

Joar scares me . . .

Last time I checked there were women in the military.
Also, that is true, Alexander the great was just a famous Homosexual. Why do you think their called the "companion" cavalry. Back on topic though.
I will be getting heather's book wednesday. It's being ordered from the primary warehouse or something.
BTW last time I checked Heather was MARRIED.

And joar, I know a few pshychiatrists that can "help you"

BTW last time I checked Heather was MARRIED.

Yes, I know, I also believe he's got a couple of kids - but that doesn't prove anything!

Unfortunately, Books-A-Million's supplier doesn't have the book, so they had to order it from the eastern coast supplier, so I wont have the book until tuesday.

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]
