Connected to his thesis that the emperors did not have the absolute power we have always assumed them to have, and that a form of republicanism was very much alive in the empire, Kaldellis approaches this civilization as the continuation of the late Roman empire in the East, and not what other scholars of the period have fabricated into a "Byzantine", or even worse, "Greek" one. [Consider that the common language of the United States is English. So, should we consider ourselves to be English rather that American] I am looking very forward to the second volume that will go deeper into arguing that the empire was a continuation, albeit transformed in many ways, of the late Roman empire. Although, I am somewhat puzzled as to why he retains "Byzantine" in the title of his book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.An improved understanding of Byzantine politicsBy A ReaderThis book's intriguing premise is that the Byzantine people had a level of influence over their rulers similar to that in the Roman republic. Too often, historians in the Byzantine field repeated the line that the emperor was second only to the apostles so people viewed him almost as holy. However, when reading through the history, that premise is hard to consider valid when seeing the many rebellions and overthrows of emperors that occurred throughout the 11 centuries it stood. What amazed me most was that it took so long for any historian to figure this out.This is an academic book written by an academic and can be a little challenging for the armchair historian to finish. The first three chapters were not an easy read. However, the next couple of chapters rewarded me with many great examples of how the Byzantine people made their pleasure or displeasure with an emperor known. Kaldellis' reasoning neatly explained the many of the events I know of in the 10th and 11th century beyond what other historians have written. I especially appreciated his telling of the Arab or Persian ambassador to the court of Basil II, and Basil admitting to the diplomat that emperors only ruled as long as the people let him rule.I think this willingness to throw off incompetent emperors was one of the strengths of the Byzantine empire. There may have been dynasties, but each ruler came to the throne knowing he had to perform well on it, or they could end up dead or in a monastery.The last chapter on Byzantine faith seemed a little weak. The author again mentions what various contemporary Byzantine historians have written about the sanctity of the emperor, but doesn't really address the fact that those writers would have been members of the elite, writing for the emperor's favor. Of course they would say that. But it was often members of the populares, the common people, not the elite/optimates, who did the overthrowing. And even if they didn't instigate the overthrow themselves, as the author often mentions, acceptance by the people was needed by any claimant.The author throws in the occasional reference to modern politics. This is jarring to the reader who is focused on Byzantine history, and unnecessary.Similar to reading Julius Caesar say "ok" in a historical novel.Overall, though, this book added a great deal of nuance to my understanding of Byzantine history. I love Byzantine history and the work of historians such as Kaldellis add greatly to our understanding of the empire. I just wish they would learn to tell the story of this dynamic civilization without so much academic jargonSee all 2 customer reviews...
