Description

"In this "history without scruple" one of Justinian's courtiers tells the behind-the-scenes story of the Emperor,his consort Theodora, and their Byzantine world of the sixth century AD.It is written with all the passion of a revolted conscience - and with a good deal of personal malice.There has never been a more calculated attempt to discredit an entire reign in the eyes of posterity." This issue uses the translation first published in a Penguin edition in 1966, and with an added introduction by Philip Zeigler 151p+ coloured plates. maps appendices. index. In original slip case
