Publisher Description
The Charles Oman classic work about the history of the Byzantine Empire.
From the foundation of Byzantium through the re-christening of Byzantium as the Imperial capitol of the Eastern Roman Empire, to the final devastating fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire, this exhaustive work by the great Charles Oman is an incredible introduction to the glorious decadence that posterity knows as the Byzantine Empire.

Delivers admirably, but far from flawless.
The sheer breadth of the history of Constantinople is presented in intelligible fashion for the layman, and the material is punctuated throughout with anecdotes that are often jaw-dropping. It’s a miracle the Byzantines lasted as long as they did.
