The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium - by Anthony Kaldellis

Anthony Kaldellis’ The New Roman Empire offers a comprehensive history of the Byzantine Empire, challenging the conventional perception of Byzantium as a mere extension of Rome. Kaldellis argues that Byzantium, with its rich culture, politics, and military prowess, was not a continuation but a rebirth of the Roman Empire. The book highlights Byzantine achievements in law, governance, and military strategy, while also addressing the complex relationships with surrounding states.
