About this book

For a thousand years Byzantium was a byword for imperial power, gold and international trade. In this concise history of the empire, Judith Herrin focuses each short chapter around a theme such as a building, luxury silks, the fork, the crusades, or an individual, using them to take the reader on a journey from ancient to medieval times.
