| Editorial Review |
| This classic history of the Eastern Roman Empire-first published in 1912 and a companion to Bury's two-volume History of the Later Roman Empire-remains one of the most readable works on the era, and is highly recommended for students of Roman culture. This essential volume covers: • the reigns of Nicephorus I, Stauracius, and Michael I, (A.D. 802-813) • Leo V, the Armenian, and the revival of Iconoclasm (A.D. 813-820) • Michael II, the Amorian (A.D. 820-829) • Theophilus (A.D. 829-842) • Michael III (A.D. 842-867) • financial and military administration • the Saracen wars • relations with the Western Empire • the conversion of Slavs and Bulgarians • and much, much more. British historian JOHN BAGNELL BURY (1861-1927) was professor of modern history at Cambridge. His writings, known for a readability combined with a scholarly depth, include History of Greece (1900) and Idea of Progress (1920). |
