Witness the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of empires, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique atlas offers an unprecedented cartographic overview of Europe's transformation from the fall of the Roman Empire to the dawn of the first millennium.
