From the golden, renowned Queen of Cities, Constantinople, city of Constantine, holy men, travelers, pilgrims, merchants, ambassadors, and many other people from all walks of life filled its streets. Finally, there was the emperor, the master of this city, and an empire once stretching from the Black Sea to Spain until its fall to the powerful Turks in the fifteenth century. In a line of Basilioi, triumph, tragedy, trust, and betrayal were lifelong dramas for the men and women in the purple sitting on the palace throne.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD CONCISE REVIEW OF THE BYZANTINE EMPEROR AND THE PEOPLE WHO RAN IT

Great reference. Could be read through as history but I jumped around to read about names I had hear about.

Just what I was looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars The devil is in the details.

I was surprised by the assertion on page 25 that "Constantine (the Great) was buried in Rome". That should be fact-checked. Other sources say that he was buried in his Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and reburied there when a new Church of the Holy Apostles was built in the mid-sixth century. Any trace of his remains was lost after the church was demolished for the building of the Fatih Mosque is 1461 by the Ottoman Turks.
