There was a lot stuffed into this book! This was really about the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD and how Byzantium endured into the 15th century. The lineup of rulers read a bit like a soap opera at times but that only made it more readable to me. I‘m including a link to a podcast series (which is also available via podcast apps) Brownworth did on some of the Byzantine rulers.
