Volume VI. The Anecdota or Secret History The most famous woman of late antiquity, the empress Theodora, is portrayed with a very sharp pen in Procopius' Secret History. The 6th century historian here sets out to tell "what manner of persons Justinian and Theodora were and the method by which they ruined the Roman Empire"--in an account that he apparently meant to publish after their deaths. He tells of Theodora's early years as a stage performer and prostitute; the duplicitous means and intrigue she employed to achieve her goals when in power; her cruelty and spite, vanity and pride. Not a fair and balanced picture perhaps, but a striking and vivid one. Series No. 290 / 406 pages / ISBN 0-674-99320-9 |

General Index The Byzantine historian's graphic description of the churches, public buildings, fortifications, and bridges erected by Justinian throughout his empire--from the Church of St. Sophia in Constantinople to city walls at Carthage--is a rich source of information on architecture of the 6th century. This volume also contains a General Index to all seven volumes of the Loeb edition of Procopius. Series No. 343 / 562 pages / ISBN 0-674-99378-0 |
