    by James Howard-Johnston ...
    The last and longest war of classical antiquity was fought in the early seventh century.

    by James Howard-Johnston ...
    In this collection of essays, James Howard-Johnston evaluates historical sources from across the entire existence of the Byzantine empire.

  • Byzantium in a Changing World

    by James Howard-Johnston ...
    Byzantium is commonly taken to be a somewhat exotic entity on the margin of medieval Europe--bureaucratic, Greek- rather than Latin-speaking, Orthodox rather than Catholic, wealthy and effete, relying on cunning rather than martial exploits to foil its enemies.

  • East Rome, Sasanian Persia and the End of Antiquity

    Historiographical and Historical Studies

    by James Howard-Johnston ...
    Series series Variorum Collected Studies
    The last, longest and most damaging of the wars fought between East Rome and Sasanian Persia (603-628) brought the classical phase of west Eurasian history to a dramatic close.

  • Byzantium

    Economy, Society, Institutions 600-1100

    by James Howard-Johnston ...
    Byzantium was a strange entity--a relic of classical antiquity which survived deep into the Middle Ages. Drawing on a lifetime's work in the field of Byzantine studies, James Howard-Johnston aims to explain Byzantium's longevity, first as a state geared to fighting a two-centuries long guerrilla war of defence, then as an increasingly confident regional power. It is only by analysing its economic, ... Read more

  • Social Change in Town and Country in Eleventh-Century Byzantium

    Edited by James Howard-Johnston ...
    Series series Oxford Studies in Byzantium
    The history of Byzantium pivots around the eleventh century, during which it reached its apogee in terms of power, prestige, and territorial extension, only then to plunge into steep political decline following serious military defeats and extensive territorial losses.

    The Ambiguity of Greatness

    by Guy Maclean Rogers ...
    For nearly two and a half millennia, Alexander the Great has loomed over history as a legend–and an enigma. Wounded repeatedly but always triumphant in battle, he conquered most of the known world, only to die mysteriously at the age of thirty-two.
