Focusing on the intimate and revealing accounts of Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora, this work offers a candid portrayal of key historical figures, including Belisarius and his wife Antonina. Procopius, a learned legal adviser and historian from 6th-century Palestine, documents his experiences in war and court life, providing a brutally honest perspective on imperialism. Rediscovered in the 17th century after being lost for centuries, it stands as a crucial source for understanding the era, appealing to scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
