Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Procopius, Vol. 2 of 6: With an English Translation by H. B. Dewing
Such, then, was the final outcome of the Persian War for the Emperor Justinian; and I shall now proceed to set forth all that'he did against the Vandals and the Moors. But first shall be told whence came the host of the Vandals when they descended upon the land of the Romans. After Theodosius, the Roman Emperor, had departed from the world, having proved himself one of the most just of men and an able warrior, his kingdom was taken over by his two sons, Arcadius, the elder, receiving the Eastern portion, and Honorius, the younger, the Western. But the Roman power had been thus divided as far back as the time of Con stantine and his sons for he transferred his govern ment to Byzantium, and making the city larger and much more renowned, allowed it to be named after him.
