Description

Battles and Generals offers an analysis of Procopius' descriptions of combat that emphasizes Procopius' didactic aims, the specificity of Procopius' accounts, and the role of Procopius' audience in shaping his approach to warfare. Review ''The book is clearly written and structured and based on detailed knowledge of classical Greek military historiography and modern literature on this literary genre. Its focus on battle description is to be commended [...] Whately does not believe that Procopius had one overriding narrative aim but that he set out to convey numerous messages.Whately is to be praised for demonstrating that the literary nature of such texts does not detract from their historicity. [...] the book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Procopius, late antiquity warfare, and the Justinianic era." - Alexander Sarantis, in: Speculum 94/4 (October 2019) About the Author Conor Whately, Ph.D. (2009, Warwick), is an assistant professor of Classics at the University of Winnipeg. He has published widely on Roman military history and late antique historiography, including a monograph (forthcoming) on the Roman army in Moesia.
