Reviews (Cross-sectional publications)

An attempt to assess Emperor Justinian and his reign, undertaken by the British historian James Allan Evans.

The author of this work is Julian, called the Apostate by posterity, who was a Roman emperor in the years 361-363 CE. and decided to evaluate his predecessors.

The book "The Fall of the Roman Empire" by Mr. Peter Heather is about the causes and the process of the fall of the Roman state.

A thrilling historical novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz's friend and competitor, set in the realities of the collapsing ancient Rome.

The author reports on the most important war campaigns in the history of the country of the wolf people and the organization of its extraordinary army, taking into account its reforms and the place of soldiers in Roman society.

The Byzantinist Robert Browning in his work entitled Justinian and Theodora focused on the rule of the titular couple.

The book "Byzantium and Its Army, 284-1081" brings the reader closer to the Byzantine army, which was the direct successor of the Roman army.

The book presents the history of the fall of Constantinople with a bit more emphasis on the military aspects of this event.

In his book entitled "The Fall of Constantinople 1453" by the eminent British medievalist Steven Runciman presented the circumstances, course and consequences of the fall of the city of Constantine the Great, previously known as Byzantium.

In his not-very large book, entitled "When Our World Became Christian: 312 - 394", the French historian Mr. Paul Veyne told his readers the story of the takeover of power in the Roman state by the then-new Christian religion. The topic itself raised in the discussed study is extremely interesting and it is good that the author did his work diligently and expertly analyzed the historical sources available to him, telling us about incredibly turbulent times from Constantine to Theodosius - both called "The Great" by posterity.
