Description

Explore a defining aspect of the Byzantine Empire with this scholarly work from Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies. Shaun Tougher provides a detailed survey of the history and roles of eunuchs, spanning the empire's existence from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries AD. This book offers a wide-ranging perspective by using comparative material from across the globe. Readers can learn about similar social structures in China, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire. The text also connects these historical roles to other groups, such as the eighteenth-century castrato singers of Enlightenment Europe, the Galli of ancient Rome, early Christians, the Skoptsy of Russia, and the Hijras. Perfect for students and historians of ancient civilization, this monograph provides a comprehensive look at how these individuals functioned within Byzantine society and beyond. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the social and historical landscape of the era through a unique lens.
