Traditionally, both archaeological and historical studies have tended to explain the changes to Late Roman Cities in terms of either outright decay or an almost seamless transformation.
In this essay I argue that for too long archaeologists have charted the end of the roman city without understanding what took its place. Evidence at Nicopolis shows that decline and transformation can go hand in hand.
