This is a rather long study, from the Oxford Studies in Ancient Documents. Its general content should be clear by the title, and it focuses on three "chunks" of the former Roman empire: Maghreb and Iberia, Gallia and Germania, and the British Isles.

This should be relevant the most for people interested in the Romance languages, but there are bits of content about other languages too; for example the section called "North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula" has a chapter with the historical situation of the Amazigh languages, Punic and Greek, while "Gaul and the Germanies" talks quite a bit about Frankish.
