Robert Graves's magnificent historical novel about Belisarius (c.505–565 AD), the greatest general of the Byzantine Empire under Emperor Justinian | the man who reconquered North Africa from the Vandals, Italy from the Goths and defended Constantinople itself. Told through the eyes of Eugenius, the loyal eunuch servant of Belisarius's wife Antonina, Graves brings the Byzantine world vividly to life with his trademark authority and narrative power. Includes five maps at the back of the book. One of Graves's finest novels alongside I, Claudius. A collectible vintage Penguin in the iconic orange design.
