Focusing on the 6th century, Procopius provides a unique perspective on Emperor Justinian and his inner circle through his renowned work, "The Secret History." As a legal adviser to General Belisarius, Procopius documented military campaigns and offered a candid portrayal of imperial life, often unflattering to its subjects. Rediscovered in the 17th century, this brutally honest account serves as a crucial historical resource, making it essential for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
