Procopius' Wars of Justinian (Pt. 3)

This is an extract from Procopius of Caesarea’s ‘History of the Wars of Justinian’, first written and published in the mid Sixth Century AD. It remains one of the great masterpieces of historical writing and an integral source for the world of Late Antiquity.

We are starting from the very beginning.

This is an original work by Procopius of Caesarea, written 1500 years ago to record the deeds of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian (Reigned 527-565)
The words of this video come directly from Procopius himself, translated by Henry Bronson Dewing.
