Reviews

A fresh and smart introduction to a part of the Medieval History of Europe that is still little known. A guide to discover the Eastern Roman Empire loved by my university students and a clear overview to introduce all those passionate about history who are still wondering about what Byzantium was. * Alessandra Bucossi, Associate Professor of Byzantine Studies, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy * A crisp, clear overview of more than a thousand years of history. Dionysios Stathakopoulos had crammed in a huge amount of information into this slim volume - and in a way that is engaging, readable and enjoyable. An impressive achievement all round. * Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History & Director, The Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research, University of Oxford, UK *
