About This Book

The narrative traces the life of an emperor who rose from modest origins to supreme power, detailing his education, rise under his predecessor, and accession to sole rule. It examines his military campaigns that expanded imperial territory, his legal reforms through compilation and publication of laws, and his extensive building program — churches, fortifications, roads, aqueducts, and baths — that reshaped cities and secured commerce. Attention is given to patronage of the arts, promotion of Christian worship, economic and administrative measures, and efforts to stabilize internal order while projecting authority abroad.
