<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Horsa, post: 1821946, member: 58398&quot;]VK,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>An excellent book is &quot;Gothic War: Justinian&#039;s Campaign to Reclaim Italy&quot; about Belisaurius&#039;s life and campaigns. After reading this you will think Belisaurius was the greatest general of late antiquity. Which he was.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lots of Dark Age antics are included - the Gothic nation, Franks, Lombards actions in Italy and the destruction of the Vandal nation by Belisaurius at the head of the Byzantines and prior to their invasion of Italy. Great sieges of Rome. The rise of Totilla. The functioning of Justinian&#039;s Court. Legendary stuff for all those interested in Late Antiquity.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also liked &quot;Constantinople: The Last Great Siege&quot; by Roger Crowley.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A quetsion: does anyone know where is best to read the latest academic numismatic research on Ancient coins and/or archaeology?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
