Episode 265 - The 10 Greatest Emperors with Anthony Kaldellis

<p>Professor Anthony Kaldellis has just completed a new history of Byzantium which will be published in <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-new-roman-empire-9780197549322?cc=eu&amp;lang=en&amp;" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">October 2023</a>. 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.</p><br><p><a href="https://classics.uchicago.edu/people/anthony-kaldellis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He is a Professor in the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago.</a> This is his third interview on the History of Byzantium. I talked to him about two of his books <a href="https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/2015/11/12/episode-86-the-byzantine-republic-with-anthony-kaldellis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'The Byzantine Republic'</a> and <a href="https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/2017/09/07/episode-149-streams-of-gold-rivers-of-blood/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood: The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, 955 A.D. to the First Crusade.'</a> But he is the author of over a dozen books on Byzantium along with translations of texts and many articles.
