Description
The Wars of Justinian I by Michael Whitby provides a comprehensive analysis of the Roman army under Justinian's rule. This in-depth study examines the equipment, organization, leadership, strategy and tactics employed during his campaigns, which saw the reconquest of Rome itself and Italy from the Ostrogoths, North Africa from the Vandals, and parts of Spain from the Visigoths. Justinian I's long reign was marked by a series of grand schemes, largely accomplished through the services of two talented generals, Belisarius and Narses. Despite distractions from wars against the Persians in the east and the devastating impact of bubonic plague, Justinian's vision behind these campaigns had a lasting impact on the stability of the empire. This book offers a unique perspective on the Roman army of the period, considering its equipment, organization, leadership, strategy and tactics, and exploring the longer-term consequences of Justinian's military ventures.
