History of the Byzantine Empire

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

“Byzantium is seen as the continuation and decline of the Roman Empire. We still judge the medieval Greeks, as did the Crusaders who did not understand them, and the popes who excommunicated them, in an unconscious effort brought on by centuries-old grudges, by a vague recollection of lost religious passions. In reality, Byzantium was completely different from this. Although it declared itself the heir and executor of Rome and never ceased to claim rights over the ancient and glorious capital of the empire, in reality Byzantium had very quickly become an Eastern monarchy. It should in no way be compared with the overwhelming memories of Rome.”

The History of the Byzantine Empire, written by Charles Diehl in 1919, is still considered one of the most competent works in its field, although almost a century has passed since its publication.

The book, which deals with the Byzantine Empire as a whole with its wars, rebellions, coups, throne fights, economy and culture, opens the door to a millennium-old truth woven with legends and rumors.
