Description
The Byzantines offers a unique insight into the people who shaped one of history's most fascinating civilizations. Through detailed composite portraits, a team of distinguished scholars brings to life the social world of Byzantium, revealing the everyday lives and cultural characteristics of its inhabitants. From paupers to emperors, soldiers to clerics, this book presents a vivid and authentic picture of ordinary Byzantine life. The result is a startlingly clear vision of the Byzantines and their strikingly modern worldview. No comparable volume exists that recovers from the past with such fascination the men and women of Byzantium, their culture and lifeways.
