“An exceptional, well written, exhaustively researched, and detailed biography” of the controversial Roman emperor—from the author of Constantius II (Midwest Book Review). Justinian II became Roman emperor at a time when the Empire was beset by external enemies. His forces gained success against the Arabs and Bulgars but his religious and social policies fueled internal opposition which resulted in him being deposed and mutilated (his nose was cut off) in 695. After a decade in exile, during which he strangled two would-be assassins with his bare hands, he regained power through a coup d’etat with the backing of the erstwhile Bulgar enemy (an alliance sealed by the marriage of his daughter, Anastasia). His second reign was seemingly harsher and again beset by both external and internal threats and dissension over doctrinal matters. An energetic and active ruler, his reign saw developments in various areas, including numismatics, administration, finance and architecture, but he was deposed a second time in 711 and beheaded. Drawing on all the available evidence and the most recent research, Peter Crawford makes a long-overdue re-assessment of Justinian’s colorful but troubled career and asks if he fully deserves his poor reputation.

Download Rhinotmetus. The Memoir of Justinian II Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
714 AD - Finally exiled in Bulgaria, Anastasia, former basilissa of the Romans, jealously guards an heirloom. An handwritten manuscript, penned by none other than her late son, basileus Justinian II, also known as the Rhinotmetus. In those posthumous pages is recounted the tumultuous existence of an emperor who rose to power when he was very young, and was able to hold it for most of his life. Between those lines is traced an honest and uncensored portrait of one of the cruelest and most hated regents of imperial history, best known for his terrifying reprisals. The many moments of glory will be followed by others extremely dark, made of treachery, vengeance, massacres and conspiracies. This until the moment in which everything will collapse, sanctioning the end of the Eraclian dynasty, which which had undisputedly ruled over the Eastern Roman Empire for over a century.

Download Of the Buildings of Justinian Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
"It becomes, therefore, important to have a clear record as to what Justinian did, not only in Palestine but in other countries, so as to be able to judge to some extent, by well-authenticated examples, of the founders of those edifices whose history is involved in doubt. Of the writers who can give us this record, none has such authority as Procopius, or gives so much detailed information; and he has, for that reason, been largely quoted by Gibbon and by well-nigh every other writer on Byzantine history; and he gives such definite information as to the dates of many of Justinian's buildings which remain to us, as to form a standard by which to recognise the general characteristics in outline and detail adopted by his architects in his greatest works, and which characterize the style now well known as Byzantine." source
