Justinian governed the Roman empire for more than thirty-eight years, and the events of his reign were recorded by Procopius of Caesarea, secretary of the general Belisarius. Yet, significantly, Procopius composed a history, a panegyric, as well as a satire of his own times. Anthony Kaldellis here offers a new interpretation of these writings of Procopius, situating him as a major source for the sixth century and one of the great historians of antiquity and Byzantium.
Breaking from the scholarly tradition that views classicism as an affected imitation that distorted history, Kaldellis argues that Procopius was a careful student of the classics who displayed remarkable literary skill in adapting his models to the purposes of his own narratives. Classicism was a matter of structure and meaning, not just vocabulary. Through allusions Procopius revealed truths that could not be spoken openly; through anecdotes he exposed the broad themes that governed the history of his age.
Elucidating the political thought of Procopius in light of classical historiography and political theory, Kaldellis argues that he owed little to Christianity, finding instead that he rejected the belief in providence and asserted the supremacy of chance. By deliberately alluding to Plato's discussions of tyranny, Procopius developed an artful strategy of intertextuality that enabled him to comment on contemporary individuals and events. Kaldellis also uncovers links between Procopius and the philosophical dissidents of the reign of Justinian. This dimension of his writing implies that his work is worthy of esteem not only for the accuracy of its reporting but also for its cultural polemic, political dissidence, and philosophical sophistication.
Procopius of Caesarea has wide implications for the way we should read ancient historians. Its conclusions also suggest that the world of Justinian was far from monolithically Christian. Major writers of that time believed that classical texts were still the best guides for understanding history, even in the rapidly changing world of late antiquity.

Podsumowania Memmo to złoto przed egzaminami. Nie muszę czytać 800 stron dwa tygodnie wcześniej — tylko to, co najważniejsze.
Czat AI uratował mnie niejeden raz w noc przed egzaminem. Pytam, dopóki nie zrozumiem — i nie muszę czekać na odpowiedź od grupy studyjnej.
Quizy trafiają w punkt, jeśli chodzi o to, co muszę wiedzieć. Memmo śledzi, na czym się zacinam — więc ćwiczę tylko to, co naprawdę się liczy.
Fiszki z powtórkami rozłożonymi w czasie to magia. Memmo wie, kiedy mam coś zapomnieć i przypomina mi o tym.
Podcasty AI to mój faworyt. Słucham w drodze do szkoły i powtarzam materiał, nie siedząc przed komputerem.
