A review by brampton
The Secret History by Prokopios

3.0

This starts off scandalously well, but by chapter XXVIII it's all getting a bit repetitive. He ripped everyone off! We get it! I suppose the value for historians is the descriptions of the offices and customs he didn't honour, which provides insight into what was in place before he came to power.
Mind you, not paying the army seems a risky strategy.
