Interesting information about becoming emperor.

pickI found this book to be informative and interesting. Kaldellis examines the dynamics of political power in the Byzantine Empire through this book, as well as the idea of "popular consent" and how it affected the use of political power. While a little dry in parts, the book is very informative in its subject matter.

Neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

So far, I'm finding the book interesting. Kaldellis primarily focuses on the 10th and 11th centuries in the Byzantine (or Eastern Roman) Empire. However, he highlights some cultural and military practices that continued from earlier Roman history, like distributing loot to troops and parading prisoners in a triumph.
