IN THE REIGN OF JUSTINIAN, THE ROMANS FOUGHT BACK.
It was an age of glory. Justinian's general, Belisarius, recovered North Africa and Italy from the barbarians. An impressive new law code was inaugurated that would endure to this day. Astonishing building projects, like the iconic Hagia Sophia, rivalled the great monuments of Old Rome.
But all that glitters is not gold. Drawing on the contemporary sources, especially those of the chronicler Procopius, Nick Holmes reveals a darker side to Justinian - a ruthless opportunist, whose costly conquests and misguided priorities drained the empire's wealth and critically weakened its army.
Rather than restoring Rome's greatness did he in fact pave the way for its catastrophic collapse less than a century after his death?
This is the fourth volume in Nick Holmes' series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. The first three books trace the empire's story from the 'crisis of the third century', through its reinvention by Constantine as a Christian state, and then onto the fall of its western half. A fifth volume will tell of its rapid demise in the seventh century AD, when the first Islamic Caliphate became the new superpower of western Eurasia.
