The Power Game in Byzantium: Antonina and the Empress Theodora

The Power Game in Byzantium: Antonina and the Empress Theodora By James Allan Evans
2011 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1441140786 | PDF | 2 MB


Justinian's reign (527-565) was a time of increasing intolerance and absolutism but also brought social mobility, with both the Empress Theodora and her friend Antonina rising from origins in the theatre to positions of great power and influence. In his history of this turbulent period Evans examines how both women negotiated the intrigues of the Byzantine imperial court; he pays special attention to Antonina's management of her husband Belisarius' career and Theodora's protection of Christians who rejected the Chalcedonian creed.
