Byzantine Military Rhetoric in the Ninth Century is the first
English translation of the ninth-century Anonymi Byzantini
Rhetorica Militaris. This influential text offers a valuable
insight into the warrior ethic of the period, the role of religion
in the justification of war, and the view of other military
cultures by the Byzantine elite. It also played a crucial role in
the compilation of the tenth-century Taktika and Constantine VII's
harangues during a period of intense military activity for the
Byzantine Empire on its eastern borders. Including a detailed
commentary and critical introduction to the author and the
structure of the text, this book will appeal to all those
interested in Byzantine political ideology and military history.
