More than just a fighting force, this army was the setting  in which hundreds of thousands of men forged relationships and manoeuvred for  promotion. The officers of this force, from famous generals like Belisarius  and Narses to lesser-known men like Buzes and Artabanes, not only fought  battles but also crafted social networks and cultivated their relationships  with their emperor, fellow officers, families, and subordinate soldiers.  Looming in the background were differences in identity, particularly between  Romans and those they identified as barbarians. Drawing on numerical evidence  and stories from sixth-century authors who understood the military, \u003ci\u003eJustinian’s Men\u003c\/i\u003e highlights a  sixth-century Byzantine army that was vibrant, lively, and full of individuals  working with and against each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137562036\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-56204-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 228\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752464478348,"sku":"9781137562036","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137562036.jpg?v=1777997218","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137562036","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
