ISBN10: 0199279683, ISBN13: 9780199279685, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. This is the first book-length study in English of the Byzantine emperor Basil II. Basil II, later known as 'Bulgar-slayer', is famous for his military conquests and his brutal intimidation of domestic foes. Catherine Holmes considers the problems Basil faced in governing a large, multi-ethnic empire, which stretched from southern Italy to Mesopotamia. Her close focus on the surviving historical narratives, above all the Synopsis Historion of John Skylitzes,reveals a Byzantium governed as much by persuasion as coercion. This book will appeal to those interested in Byzantium before the Crusades, the governance of pre-modern empires, and the methodology of writingearly medieval political history. Basil presided over a Byzantium which was the superpower of the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East in the century before the Crusades. This is a study in English of the Byzantine emperor Basil II, the 'Bulgar-slayer'. It reveals an empire that was governed by a potent mixture of subtle persuasion and brutal force.
