Byzantium: The Early Centuries
by John Julius Norwich
A compelling broad history of Byzantium. From the founding of the new Imperial Capital by Constantine through the upheavals of dynastic strife, religious infighting, court intrigue, the rise of Islam and closing with the crowning of a rival emperor in the west.
Well written, very throughly sourced with insightful and often amusing footnotes, covering a large span of time and offering a broad stroke insight into one of the most fascinating polities of world history.
