Procopius’s Secret History is a hostile account of Justinian, Theodora, Belisarius and the sixth-century Byzantine court. It is not a straightforward campaign narrative, but it is important background for the world of the Vandalic War, Gothic War and Justinian’s imperial programme because it gives the bitter private version of the same regime Procopius described more formally elsewhere.
