Late antiquity is the period of European and Mediterranean history between the 3rd and the 7th or 8th century AD. The period starts with the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the reforms of Diocletian. The end of the period is defined variously as marked with the reforms of Heraclius, the Early Muslim conquests, or the reign of Charlemagne. The period partly overlaps the Early Middle Ages.
