Courtier, scholar, politician and, finally, monk, Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator was a sixth-century Roman who tried to keep the ideal of civilization alive at a time when the empire he served was in its death-throes. Simon Webb's book is the first new stand-alone biography of this fascinating figure to be published for over forty years.
