In Battles and Generals: Combat, Culture, and Didacticism in
Procopius' Wars, Whately reads Procopius' descriptions of combat
through the lens of didacticism, arguing that one of Procopius'
intentions was to construct those accounts not only so that they
might be entertaining to his audience, but also so that they might
provide real value to his readership, which was comprised, in part,
of the empire's military command. In the course of this analysis we
discover that the varied battles and sieges that Procopius
describes are not generic; rather, they have been crafted to
reflect the nature of combat - as understood by Procopius - on the
three fronts of Justinian's wars, the frontier with Persia, Vandal
north Africa, and Gothic Italy.
