Brief History of the Byzantine Empire

The rich history of the Byzantine Empire, which we also know as the Eastern Roman Empire, still needs to be researched today and it seems that it will continue to be interesting in many aspects. This work by Dionysios Stathakopoulos deals with the adventure of the Byzantine Empire, which is difficult to fit into a book, with an interactive understanding, without reducing it to just a single variable, with a meticulousness that takes into account its relationship with its environment and does not confine it to a closed, isolated historical narrative. This text, woven with masterful simplicity and able to convey this important section of human history not only to experts interested in the discipline of history but also to a wide range of readers, promises a very ambitious start, especially for those who are interested.
“Since our dominant hegemonic discourse is Western-centered, it is inevitable that Byzantium will be trivialized. (…) Despite what Byzantine sources would have us believe, Byzantium was far from being an ancient, immobile organism. “When you lift the veil of classical archaism and stylisticism, you see a constant process of change and adaptation.”
