"A bravura performance: a witty, moving, sexy book that bursts
with as much color and excitement as the city of Constantinople
itself." -"Financial Times"
Roman historian Procopius publicly praised Theodora of
Constantinople for her piety-while secretly detailing her salacious
stage act and maligning her as ruthless and power hungry. So who
was this woman who rose from humble beginnings as a dancer to
become the empress of Rome and a saint in the Orthodox Church?
Award-winning novelist Stella Duffy vividly recreates the life and
times of a woman who left her mark on one of the ancient world's
most powerful empires. "Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore" is a
sexy, captivating novel that resurrects an extraordinary,
little-known figure from the dusty pages of history.
