A fully-outfitted edition of Prokopios' late Antique masterpiece of military history and ethnography--for the 21st-century reader.

"At last . . . the translation that we have needed for so long: a fresh, lively, readable, and faithful rendering of Prokopios' Wars, which in a single volume will make this fundamental work of late ancient history-writing accessible to a whole new generation of students." --Jonathan Conant, Brown University
