video thumbnail
This video is an extract from the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea’s book ‘History of the Wars I’ written around 545AD. Procopius was an eyewitness to the Nike Riots, a devastating episode of civil unrest in the imperial capital of Constantinople. The words of this video come directly from Procopius, translated by H.B. Dewing in 1914.
