byzantine stuff hello attilios first thanks for your appreciative comments i certainly plan to complete and bring the rest of the isaurian period article to the same level and then probably do the amorian period too for they are perhaps the most under appreciated periods in the empire's history the other periods also need lots of work of course but it will be some time before i will be able to do anything about that i've got a couple of dozen ongoing projects or other articles i want to do so time is short any help you can offer will of course be appreciated be it pointing out an unclear sentence or a mistake or adding some important point you feel i overlooked just be bold and edit since byzantium is an area where only a handful of editors are active imo if you can go ahead and write up even a sketchy rudimentary outline on some of these topics e g the horribly short byzantium under the justinian dynasty you'd be helping a great deal and if you can bring some respectable italian sources in that'd be a further bonus for the map it has some problems and i have been revising it for some time now although the present status is still nowhere near good enough for it to be uploaded for naples and gaeta both cities are usually listed as acknowledging at least nominal byzantine suzerainty at the time their rulers accepting byzantine titles etc now i admit that byzantine italy is not my field of expertise so if you have some good sources to show otherwise i'll change that too best regards
