Episode 281 - Justinian: Emperor, Soldier, Saint with Peter Sarris
The History of Byzantium
01/31/24 • 37 min
A new book has come out about that most famous of Byzantines. It's called Justinian: Emperor, Soldier, Saint by Peter Sarris and it is excellent. It is not a dramatization of his career but a brilliantly researched account of his life and time in office.
Track his evolving thinking through the amazing range of sources we have for his reign and gain a deeper understanding of the interesting times he lived in.
The book is on sale everywhere including on Audible.com. To listen to the book for free check out Audible's service here.

A personal appeal from a listener
The History of Byzantium
02/14/23 • 4 min
A personal appeal from a listener who has family in Antakya.
This is an appeal for you to donate to one of the various charities who are rushing to the scene at this moment to help the survivors. You have a number of options. You may have campaigns being run in your country by reputable organisations. So here in the UK the Disaster Emergency Committee have launched an appeal that has raised millions. This is an organisation which brings a group of charities together. In this case Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund and Islamic Relief amongst many others.
