In the course of this analysis we discover that the varied battles and sieges that Procopius describes are not generic; rather, they have been crafted to reflect the nature of combat – as understood by Procopius – on the three fronts of Justinian’s wars, the frontier with Persia, Vandal north Africa, and Gothic Italy.History of warfare ;Volume 111.War (Philosophy)Byzantine EmpireHistory, Military527-1081Byzantine EmpireHistoryJustinian I, 527-565Electronic books.War (Philosophy)949.5/013Whately Conor1066552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511431503321Battles and generals2549408UNINA01408nam 2200385 n 450 99639464200331620200824120815.0(CKB)3810000000009769(EEBO)2264213492(UnM)99830200e(UnM)99830200(EXLCZ)99381000000000976919950717d1678 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|Heavens glory, and hells horror: or, the parable of Dives and Lazarus opened and applyed[electronic resource]Wherein, the everlasting joy of the saints and the endless torments of the wicked are discovered: for the comfort of the one, and terror of the other.
