JustinianLongman, 1994 - 202 Seiten Justinian offers a scholarly reinterpretation of a key moment in late classical/early medieval history. The sixth century was a time of great change around the Mediterranean: the western provinces of the Roman empire had recently come under the power of peoples the Romans referred to as 'barbarians', while the parts of the empire which had remained intact in the east were rapidly developing along lines which already pointed to the Byzantine empire of the Middle Ages. Into this shifting and unstable world emerged the emperor Justinian (reigned 527-65), one of the greatest rulers in the history of either empire. |
