BROWNING, R., Justinian and Theodora. Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1971. 272p. ills. Cloth wrps. Wrps protected with adaptaroll.'Browning has achieved a remarkable feat of compression, the success of which owes much to the vividness and clarity of his style. After a brief Introduction which outlines the history of the Empire from the time of Constantine, the narrative begins with a coup de foudre at the death of Anastasius. Justinian's period as a power behind the throne of his uncle is then discussed, and thereafter, before delaing with the events of his own reign, Browning describes the men who formed his entourage. Brownings's character-sketches, both here and throughout the work, are particularly successful, and while not becoming unduly immersed in discussions of the militay and bureaucratic establishment, he conveys a sound picture of how the army and the civil service functioned at the higher levels. (...) This is a handsome, scholarly, and well-witten book. It will be a valuable asset both to the coffee-table and to the study-shelf. (W.R. CHALMERS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1974, p.282). € 17.50 (Antiquarian)
