Procopius was the major historian of the reign of Justinian and one
of the most important historians of Late Antiquity. This is the
first stand-alone English translation of his work Persian Wars. It
offers a new translation, which has at its basis one published
fifty years ago by Averil Cameron. The Persian Wars, despite the
title, is a wide-ranging work that reports the history and
geography not only of Mesopotamia and the Caucasus, but also of
southern Arabia and Ethiopia, Iran and Central Asia, and
Constantinople itself. This book is equipped with notes, maps and
plans, an introduction, and a translation of a further Greek text,
that of Nonnosus, which overlaps with Procopius'. It will be of
benefit to specialists and the general reader alike.
