ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe number of books published each year has reached record levels but,paradoxically, it has become more difficult for a writer to get a book accepted.So I am thankful to my agent, Bill Hamilton, for placing AD 381 with WillSulkin at Pimlico. Will helped clarify the central themes of the book while, afterit was completed, Jörg Hensgen offered effective guidance for tidying the textand tightening the argument. I am very grateful to them both. The text has beencopy-edited with great care by Jane Selley and the index has been compiled byOula Jones. My thanks are due to them both.
