Description

Justinian Emperor, Soldier, Saint is a groundbreaking biography that offers an intimate insight into the life and times of one of history's most significant rulers. From humble beginnings to achieving almost god-like status, Peter Sarris sheds light on the complexities of Justinian's character.

This comprehensive account explores the emperor's spiritual and religious significance, his role as a gifted administrator, and his personal life, including his marriage to Empress Theodora and his military strategies. Sarris delves into the challenges faced by Justinian, such as climate change, cultural battles, and global pandemics, and examines how he addressed these issues.

The book reveals that many of the solutions found by Justinian still resonate with us today, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in history, politics, or the Byzantine Empire. With its unique blend of historical insight and engaging narrative, this biography is a worthwhile read for those seeking to understand one of the most important figures in history.
