Basileia

A series on the Byzantine empire

Basileia follows the Byzantine empire through the people who ruled it and the people who lived under them. Each book stands alone, with maps, sources and essays at the back.

Basileus is the first book. It needs no knowledge of the Belisarius books, which are set eighty years earlier.

One email when a new book is out. Between books, now and then a short letter about one thing from the sources: a coin, a map, a passage, an experiment. Never more than once a month.
