About this book
Chapters V to XVI of William Gordon Holmes's history of the sixth century fill this second volume, in a second edition of 1912. It opens with Justinian taking sole control of the empire and his first war with Persia, then covers the closing of the philosophy schools at Athens, the uprising of the circus factions in the capital, the recovery of Africa from the Vandals, the building of St. Sophia, and the war against the Goths in Italy. Later chapters treat religion, Roman law, private life around the court and the last years of the reign. Two maps show the eastern and western campaigns.
