Episode 265 - The 10 Greatest Emperors with Anthony Kaldellis

Professor Anthony Kaldellis has just completed a new history of Byzantium which will be published in October 2023 (https://global.oup.com/academic/produ...) . So I cheekily asked him if he would list his 10 greatest Emperors. Graciously he agreed to apply his immense knowledge to this frivolous topic.



He is a Professor in the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago. (https://classics.uchicago.edu/people/...) This is his third interview on the History of Byzantium. I talked to him about two of his books 'The Byzantine Republic' (https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/201...) and 'Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood: The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, 955 A.D. to the First Crusade.' (https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/201...) But he is the author of over a dozen books on Byzantium along with translations of texts and many articles.
