This book explores the professional and social lives of the
soldiers who served in the army of the Byzantine Empire in the
sixth century. More than just a fighting force, this army was the
setting in which hundreds of thousands of men forged relationships
and manoeuvred for promotion. The officers of this force, from
famous generals like Belisarius and Narses to lesser-known men like
Buzes and Artabanes, not only fought battles but also crafted
social networks and cultivated their relationships with their
emperor, fellow officers, families, and subordinate soldiers.
Looming in the background were differences in identity,
particularly between Romans and those they identified as
barbarians. Drawing on numerical evidence and stories from
sixth-century authors who understood the military, Justinian's Men
highlights a sixth-century Byzantine army that was vibrant, lively,
and full of individuals working with and against each other.
