Dominated by the policies and personality of emperor Justinian I (527-565), this period of grand achievements and far-reaching failures witnessed the transformation of the Mediterranean world. In this volume, twenty specialists explore the most important aspects of the age including the mechanics and theory of empire, warfare, urbanism, and economy. It also discusses the impact of the great plague, the codification of Roman law, and the many religious upheavals taking place at the time. Consideration is given to imperial relations with the papacy, northern barbarians, the Persians, and other eastern peoples, shedding new light on a dramatic and highly significant historical period. 410 0$aCambridge companions to the ancient world. 607 $aByzantine Empire$xHistory$yJustinian I, 527-565 676 $a949.5/013 702 $aMaas$b Michael$f1951- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205083003316 996 $aCambridge companion to the age of Justinian$987183 997 $aUNISA
