About this product

Product Information

Hughes has written a lively and detailed account of Belisarius's remarkable career." - Adrian Goldsworthy, author of The Complete Roman Army Belisarius (c. 505-565 AD) was the greatest general of the Eastern Roman Empire and is among history's most notable military personalities. At the age of 29, he twice defeated the Persians and reconquered North Africa from the Vandals, before going on to regain the Italian peninsula from the Ostrogoths, including the Eternal City, Rome. Fighting in the name of Justinian I, Belisarius recaptured large portions of the original territory of the ancient Roman Empire. However, Byzantium was both unwilling and incapable of retaining much of Belisarius's hard-won advances, and soon after his death, the empire once again retracted. In Belisarius: The Last Roman General , historian Ian Hughes recounts the life of this great soldier. In addition, he explains the evolution of classical Roman armies and systems of warfare into those of the Byzantine Empire, as well as those of their chief enemies, the Persians, Goths, and Vandals. Based on ancient source and drawing on a wealth of modern research, Belisarius's career is set in the context of the turbulent times in which he lived and his reputation is reassessed to give a balanced portrait of this neglected giant among ancient commanders.

Between confusing my tracking information for another order (making me think my package had been delivered states away), my book having completely different cover art than the image used in the eBay listing, my book not being packed well and suffering some damage, as well as the other shady behavior listed in other reviews (like my book coming from Amazon and the seller immediately jacking up the price of the original listing after my purchase), I'd say this is a shady seller to entirely avoid.

I was fluctuating between giving this 4 or 5 stars. There's water damage at the top of the book that stains most of the pages. It's not bad and doesn't bother me much, but it was unexpected. I went over the description and water damage was not mentioned, but the Book was listed as Good Condition. I assume this is why this was the cheapest listing I found at $54, but I would have still bought it even if the water damage was mentioned. But that's just me. Figured this bears mentioning for others.
