Justinian: The Last Roman Emperor
Justinian and wife Theodora jointly helmed the Roman empire in its waning days, successfully quashing invasions from the Goths, the Vandals, and other assorted battle-ready challengers. Ultimately, their efforts to restore the empire's earlier grandeur failed, and the whole show collapsed around them. Baker adroitly chronicles it all in this 1931 biography.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
