ISBN: 0415147530
price: $48.95 hardcover
The Byzantine Empire, founded by Constantine as the core of
power in the East, began to flourish in the fifth century AD, yet
its culture and history are still not as well-known as that of
the Western and Roman Empire. In From Rome to Byzantium Michael
Grant provides a fresh insight into the nature of the Byzantine
Empire in the fifth century, and the history of invasion prior to
the genesis of the Empire.
In this lavishly illustrated book, Grant examines a comparatively
unexplored area and constructs the history of an empire which
rivals the former richness and diversity of ancient Rome.
