Anthony Kaldellis argues for a new approach to Byzantine identity and self-definition, one that accepts Byzantines' own account of themselves as Romans surrounded by barbarians.A The book is a must-read not only for Byzantinists but also for those involved in broader conversations about identity in late antiquity, the middle ages, and the early modern period. -Tia Kolbaba, Rutgers University Author InformationAnthony Kaldellis is Professor of Classics at the Ohio State University.
