Procopius and the Sixth Century

Publication Details

Originally published by Duckworth and the University of California Press, Procopius is now available for the first time in paperback.

Author's Emphasis

Professor Cameron emphasises the essential unity of Procopius's three works and, starting from the minor ones, demonstrates their intimate connection with the Wars.

Historical Significance

Procopius's writings are seen to comprise a subtle whole; only if they are understood in this way can their historical value be properly appreciated. The result is a new evaluation of Procopius which will be central to any future history of the sixth century.
