Product Description
"Corippus' panegyric on Justin II is of unique literary and linguistic interest as a major Latin poem produced in the Greek world of sixth-century Constantinople. Describing in detail the politics, symbolism, formalities of an imperial accession and coronation, it is not merely a rich source of information on contemporary history but also a text of central importance for the development of Byzantine ceremonial; while art historians will find that it sheds light on the problem of the imperial art of the mid-sixth century. Dr. Cameron provides a new critical text with the first English translation and a full historical commentary with selected illustrations. Dr. Cameron is Reader in Ancient History at King's College London."Taken from the book's dust jacket.
