Belisarius (AD499-565) was the last Roman to be awarded a triumph. A Christian commander of mail-clad Household knights, nearly all of barbarian birth, whose indivdual feats rival those of King Arthur's heroes. Based on the writings of Procopius of Caesarea, the educated Syrian-Greek secretary to Belisarius and Agathias for the military background. Nobody does 'Roman' better than Robert Graves. 527pp plus maps. Internal front hinge fatigued.
