Description
Rome Resurgent: War and Empire in the Age of Justinian By Peter J. Heather The reign of Emperor Justinian (527-568) was a pivotal moment in Mediterranean history, marked by significant conquests, monumental architecture, and global religious conflict. This book offers a fresh interpretation of Justinian's conquest policy and its strategic impact on the Roman Empire. Historian Peter Heather draws upon contemporary sources, including Procopius' writings, to recast the traditional narrative of Justinian's reign. By combining these primary sources with new perspectives based on additional source material, Heather sheds new light on the effects of Justinian's war policies. Archaeological evidence from the sixth century provides a wealth of new information, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of this critical period in Roman history. Heather's work challenges prevailing views of Justinian's reign as imperial overreach, instead revealing a complex and multifaceted era that shaped the course of the Mediterranean region.
