by J. B. Bury (Author)
This classic history of the Eastern Roman Empire-first published in 1912 and a companion to Bury’s two-volume History of the Later Roman Empire-remains one of the most readable works on the era, and is highly recommended for students of Roman culture. This essential volume covers: – the reigns of Nicephorus I, Stauracius, and Michael I, (A.D. 802-813) – Leo V, the Armenian, and the revival of Iconoclasm (A.D. 813-820) – Michael II, the Amorian (A.D. 820-829) – Theophilus (A.D. 829-842) – Michael III (A.D. 842-867) – financial and military administration – the Saracen wars – relations with the Western Empire – the conversion of Slavs and Bulgarians – and much, much more. British historian JOHN BAGNELL BURY (1861-1927) was professor of modern history at Cambridge. His writings, known for a readability combined with a scholarly depth, include History of Greece (1900) and Idea of Progress (1920).
