Summary
"From the roar of the Hippodrome and the halls of the Imperial Palace to the streets of Carthage and the hills of North Africa, this biography presents a redemptive view of Byzantine Emperor Justinian (483-565 A.D.) and his wife, Empress Theodora (ca. 500-548 A.D.), illuminating one of the most remarkable and effective partnerships in history. As joint rulers of the Roman Empire, they fought invasions, revolts, riots, and intrigues in an attempt to restore the empire to its former glory and boundaries." "G. P. Baker describes the codification of Roman law under Justinian's sponsorship, a monumental feat of lasting importance; the bloody successes of the emperor's brilliant general Belisarius (505-565 A.D.) against the Vandals, Goths, and Persians; and the duplicity of Procopius (ca. 500-565 A.D.), who bequeathed to history a scandalous and depraved portrait of the couple's cruelty, greed, and sexual excesses. Justinian presents a reappraisal of their reign."--Provided by publisher.

Summary
"Roman Emperor Constantine is one of the most momentous figures in the history of Christianity, a ruler whose conversion turned the cult of Jesus into a world religion. Classical scholar Baker tells of the changing Roman world in which Constantine rose to power-an empire where feudalism was replacing the old senatorial government and the lands of the empire were split into two regions. It was also a place where customs from the East were replacing the old Roman values, preparing the way for the Byzantine Empire. Baker describes Constantine's unique conversion (which apparently did not prevent him from sacrificing to idols), his wars to control first the Roman army and then the Germans and the lands of Asia Minor, and finally the founding of Constantinople and the establishment of the monarchial system that dominated Europe for over a thousand years."--
