Book excerpt: New Large Print Edition, comfortable and easily readable format. "The Secret History" by Procopius, as translated by Richard Atwater, immerses readers in the Byzantine Empire's clandestine intrigues, unveiling the political landscape during the 6th century under the rule of Emperor Justinian I (527-565 AD). Against the backdrop of ambitious military endeavors, grand construction projects, and theological controversies, Procopius, an advisor to General Belisarius, provides a firsthand account of the intricacies within the imperial court. In contrast to Procopius' other works, which laud the accomplishments of Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora, "The Secret History" takes a critical turn, exposing the darker underbelly of this historical epoch. Atwater's translation skillfully preserves the nuances of Procopius' original text, offering readers a penetrating view into the power struggles, betrayals, and hidden agendas that marred the Byzantine political landscape. This narrative unfolds as a testimony to Procopius' disillusionment and bitterness, revealing scandals and corruption that shaped the destinies of key figures. It serves as a rare and controversial window into the intricate dynamics of the Byzantine Empire, exploring the complexities that defined the empire's trajectory during this pivotal period. "The Secret History" stands as a captivating historical account, inviting readers to grapple with the complexities and shadows that influenced the course of one of history's most intriguing civilizations.

Download or read book The Secret History of the Court of Justinian (Jovian Press) written by Procopius and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Procopius of Caesarea was born in approximately 500. He is generally considered to be the last major historian of the ancient world. His works have given us a unique and intimate account both of the Roman Military and its Emperor Justinian. A native of Caesarea in Palaestina Prima little else is known of his early life, and apart from assuming that he would have received a classical Greek Education the rest is deduction rather than based on known facts. In 527, the first year of Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I's reign, he became the adsessor (legal adviser) for Belisarius, Justinian's chief military commander who was then starting out on what would become a brilliant military career, initially in the East of the Empire. After early successes Belisarius was defeated in 531 at the Battle of Callinicum and recalled to the Empire's heart in Constantinople. Justinian was without doubt clever but cruel. When part of Constantinople rose against him in the Nika riots of January, 532, he sent Belisarius and his fellow general Mundo to repress them in a savage massacre in the Hippodrome - witnessed by Procopius. The following year Procopius accompanied Belisarius on his victorious expedition against the Vandal kingdom in North Africa and took part in the capture of Carthage. Procopius remained in Northern Africa with Belisarius' successor, Solomon the Eunuch, when Belisarius returned to Constantinople. Procopius rejoined Belisarius for his campaign against the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy and was there for the Gothic siege of Rome that lasted a year and nine days and ended in March, 538. He witnessed Belisarius' entry into the Gothic capital, Ravenna, in 540. However at some point in the next few years Procopius seems to have been moved away from working with Belisarius. When the latter was sent back to Italy in 544 to cope with a further outbreak of the war with the Goths, Procopius appears to have no longer been with Belisarius' staff. Procopius continued to record history and his works are both insightful and clear headed, distilling the complexities of the times into several classic books. His death is thought to have been around 560.

Download or read book The Secret History written by Prokopios and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exposing the perversion, repression, corruption, and injustice at the heart of Justinian's regime, Prokopios' The Secret History destroyed forever that emperor's reputation as the great and benevolent ruler of a vast Byzantine state. Faithfully rendered here in blunt and idiomatic English, Prokopios' tell-all is as shocking today as it was in the sixth century. Kaldellis' substantial Introduction addresses, among other topics, the historical background to The Secret History; Prokopios' literary style and major themes; and the relationships between Prokopios, Justinian, and Empress Theodora. Maps, genealogies, a glossary, and a selection of related texts (including excerpts from Prokopios' Wars and Buildings and several contemporary documents) enhance and support the reading of this scandalous and suspenseful book.
