Book excerpt: In the period I have chosen to bring before the reader, civilization was on the decline, and progress imperceptible, but the germs of a riper growth were still existent, concealed within the spreading darkness of medievalism. When Grecian science and philosophy seemed to stand on the threshold of modern enlightenment the pall of despotism and superstition descended on the earth and stifled every impulse of progress for more than fifteen centuries. The Yggdrasil of Christian superstition spread its roots throughout the Roman Empire, strangling alike the nascent ethics of Christendom, and the germinating science of the ancient world. Had the leading minds of that epoch, instead of expending their zeal and acumen on theological inanities, applied themselves to the study of nature, they might have forestalled the march of the centuries, and advanced us a thousand years beyond the present time...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the Age of Justinian, the last Roman century and the first flowering of Byzantine culture. Dominated by the policies and personality of emperor Justinian I (527–565), this period of grand achievements and far-reaching failures witnessed the transformation of the Mediterranean world. In this volume, twenty specialists explore the most important aspects of the age including the mechanics and theory of empire, warfare, urbanism, and economy. It also discusses the impact of the great plague, the codification of Roman law, and the many religious upheavals taking place at the time. Consideration is given to imperial relations with the papacy, northern barbarians, the Persians, and other eastern peoples, shedding new light on a dramatic and highly significant historical period.
Book Synopsis The Age of Justinian and Theodora (Vol.1&2) by : William Gordon Holmes
Download or read book The Age of Justinian and Theodora (Vol.1&2) written by William Gordon Holmes and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Justinian and Theodora is a two-volume historical work written by British historian William Gordon Holmes and it presents a historical account of Byzantine Empire in 6th century A. D. Justinian the Great was the Byzantine emperor from 527 to 565 and his wife Theodora was very influential in the politics of the Empire. Justinian's reign is marked by the ambitious project known as the restoration of the Empire. A still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. His reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture, and his building program yielded works such as the Hagia Sophia.
Book Synopsis Masculinity, Identity, and Power Politics in the Age of Justinian by : Michael Stewart
Download or read book Masculinity, Identity, and Power Politics in the Age of Justinian written by Michael Stewart and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation of historians has been captivated by the notorious views on gender found in the mid-sixth century Secret History by the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea. Yet the notable but subtler ways in which gender coloured Procopius' most significant work, the Wars, have received far less attention. This monograph examines how gender shaped the presentation of not only key personalities such as the seminal power-couples Theodora/ Justinian and Antonina/ Belisarius, but also the Persians, Vandals, Goths, Eastern Romans, and Italo-Romans, in both the Wars and the Secret History. By analysing the purpose and rationale behind Procopius' gendered depictions and ethnicizing worldview, this investigation unpicks his knotty agenda. Despite Procopius's reliance on classical antecedents, the gendered discourse that undergirds both texts under investigation must be understood within the broader context of contemporary political debates at a time when control of Italy and North Africa from Constantinople was contested.

Book Synopsis Constantinople in the Age of Justinian by : Glanville Downey
Download or read book Constantinople in the Age of Justinian written by Glanville Downey and published by Marboro Books. This book was released on 1991 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the period of the Great Law-Giver, for Justinian prompted and encouraged the restatement of classical law which remains today one of the monumental achievements in its field. It is one of many fruits of the civilization which combined and transformed the classical Greek and Christian traditions. Justinian was completing the process begun by Constantine the Great (who died in A.D. 337) of forming a new state, a new society, and a new culture to replace the disrupted Roman Empire. As the chief center of the new civilization, Constantinople was the place in which the government, literature, art, and architecture of the new epoch found their fullest expression. With Justinian's own creation, the magnificent church of Sancta Sophia, as its center, Christianity can here be seen transforming the whole Near Eastern world according to its principles. And not the least important part of this masterfully drawn picture is the piety, the daily working of faith, in a society at last dedicated to one God. -- Dust jacket flaps.

Book Synopsis Rome Resurgent by : Peter J. Heather
Download or read book Rome Resurgent written by Peter J. Heather and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of the Emperor Justinian (527-68) intersects the fall of the western half of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and the collapse of the east in the face of rampant Arab invasions in the seventh. Determined to reverse the losses Rome suffered in the fifth century, Justinian's stubborn aggression in the face of all adversity, not least the plague, led the eastern Empire to overreach itself, making it vulnerable to the Islamic takeover of its richest territories in the seventh century, which turned the great East Roman Empire of late antiquity, into its pale Byzantine shadow of the Middle Ages. Rome Resurgent promises to introduce to a wide readership this fascinating but unjustly overlooked chapter in ancient warfare.
