THE BOOK PRESENTS THE MILLENIUM-LONG HISTORY OF BYZANTIUM as reflected in a dramatic life of the most remarkable Byzantine emperors from Costantine the Great to Costantine XI Paleologus. An informative text and splendid illustrations revive the leading personalities and the key events that determined the lot of the Byzantine Empire, which is believed to have been the best governed medieval state. A fascinating narrative of the glory and the fall of Byzantium, ''the second Rome'' that inherited the power of the Roman state system and maintained for centuries the myth of itself as the ''eternal empire''.
