A major new history of the eastern Roman Empire, from Constantine
to 1453. In recent decades, the study of the Eastern Roman Empire,
also known as Byzantium, has been revolutionized by new approaches
and more sophisticated models for how its society and state
operated. No longer looked upon as a pale facsimile of classical
Rome, Byzantium is now considered a vigorous state of its own,
inheritor of many of Rome's features, and a vital node in the first
truly globalized world, with far-flung connections to the
Carolingians, Vikings, Arabs, Ethiopians, Indians, and Chinese. The
New Roman Empire is the first full, single-author history of the
eastern Roman empire to appear in over a generation. Covering
political and military history as well as all the major changes in
religion, society, demography, and economy, Anthony Kaldellis's
volume is divided into ten chronological sections which begin with
the foundation of Constantinople in 324 AD and end with the fall of
the empire to the Ottoman Turks in the fifteenth century. The book
incorporates new findings, explains recent interpretive models, and
presents well-known historical characters and events in a new
light.
