Determined to reverse the losses Rome suffered in the fifth century, Justinian's stubborn aggression in the face of all adversity, not least the plague, led the eastern Empire to overreach itself, making it vulnerable to the Islamic takeover of its richest territories in the seventh century, which turned the great East Roman Empire of late antiquity, into its pale Byzantine shadow of the Middle Ages. Rome Resurgent promises to introduce to a wide readership this fascinating but unjustly overlooked chapter in ancient warfare. 600 00 $a Justinian $b I, $c Emperor of the East, $d 483?-565. 651 0 $a Byzantine Empire $x History $y Justinian I, 527-565. 651 0 $a Byzantine Empire $x History, Military. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Greece. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202025430.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021121.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006120808.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D11ACAA27E8911E893E09E1097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
