THE NEW ROMAN EMPIRE - ANTHONY KALDELLIS GEBUNDEN

A major new history of the eastern Roman Empire  from Constantine to 1453.   In recent decades
the study of the Eastern Roman Empire  also known as Byzantium  has been revolutionized by new
approaches and more sophisticated models for how its society and state operated. No longer
looked upon as a pale facsimile of classical Rome  Byzantium is now considered a vigorous state
of its own  inheritor of many of Rome's features  and a vital node in the first truly
globalized world.   The New Roman Empire is the first full  single-author history of the
eastern Roman empire to appear in over a generation. Covering political and military history as
well as all the major changes in religion  society  demography  and economy  Anthony
Kaldellis's volume is divided into ten chronological sections which begin with the foundation
of Constantinople in 324 AD and end with the fall of the empire to the Ottoman Turks in the
fifteenth century. The book incorporates new findings  explains recent interpretive models  and
presents well-known historical characters and events in a new light.
