This is the first book-length study in English of the Byzantine
emperor Basil II. Basil II, later known as 'Bulgar-slayer', is
famous for his military conquests and his brutal intimidation of
domestic foes. Catherine Holmes considers the problems Basil faced
in governing a large, multi-ethnic empire, which stretched from
southern Italy to Mesopotamia. Her close focus on the surviving
historical narratives, above all the Synopsis Historion of John
Skylitzes, reveals a Byzantium governed as much by persuasion as
coercion. This book will appeal to those interested in Byzantium
before the Crusades, the governance of pre-modern empires, and the
methodology of writing early medieval political history.
