Riassunto

Belisarius & Antonina is a biography of an immensely powerful marriage in the time of Roman resurgence and expansion. It sheds new light on the reign of Justinian while exploring the successes, failures, and challenges of this unique partnership.

Testo aggiuntivo

It is well written and argued without being overly technical or full of academic jargon. It is easy to imagine pairing chapters with conflicting readings from Procopius to teach problems in working with primary sources. The book provides fodder for discussions of military, diplomatic, gender, and even environmental history.
