Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of events surrounding the siege of Rome in 537 AD, during the Gothic War, as described by Procopius, a historian who was present at the events. The book captures the grandeur of ancient Rome on the cusp of momentous change, vividly describing the city's architectural marvels, including the Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, and iconic churches like the Basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul. The author draws upon Procopius' account to bring to life the strategies and struggles of both the Ostrogothic and Byzantine forces, highlighting the challenges of defending a sprawling metropolis against a determined enemy. Through Procopius' writings, the book provides insights into the social, political, and military dynamics of the era, exploring themes of leadership, resilience, and the impact of war on a great civilization. It concludes with a poignant reflection on the profound transformation Rome underwent during the siege, marking the twilight of classical antiquity and the beginning of a new chapter in its rich history.
