It turned out to be a breakthrough during which the Theodosian dynasty that had ruled the Roman Empire for over seventy years finally became extinct, while the pressure of barbarians augmented by civil wars led to the collapse of the western part of the empire. In this crucial time in the history of the entire Mediterranean region, two Byzantine emperors, Marcian (450?457) and Leo I (457?474), came to power. The present book is devoted to their Western policies. The author analyzes the diplomatic and military maneuvers undertaken by these rulers against the Western Roman Empire, the Vandal Kingdom in Africa, the Hunnic Empire and the Pannonian Goths. Throughout his book, ?ukasz Pigo?ski discusses not only the policies of emperors Marcian and Leo I, but also the activity of other outstanding figures such as Aspar, Basiliscus and even Flavius Ricimer.?The reviewed publication is an interesting and valuable offer for anyone interested in the history of late antiquity. A solid analysis of sources, the base of which is well selected while the analysis itself performed in accordance with all germane principles, bespeaks a substantive work of high quality. The methods used as well as the mode of inference and presentation of research results are all accurate, which makes the publication a new and original contribution of the author not only to Polish, but also to European historiography.? prof. dr hab.
