Description
Provides a re-examination of the life and accomplishments of Emperor Basil the First (811 – 886) who reigned as sole ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire from 867-886 and established a dynasty that endured for nearly two centuries. Since the publication of Albert Vogts, the distinguished French Byzantinist, Basile I’er empereur de Byzance et la civilization la fin du IXe sicle in 1908, the work has served as the standard reference to the founder of the Macedonian dynasty. However, since that time the scholarly depiction of the ninth century has been altered and illuminated by advances in research and more recent discoveries. The work provides a much needed and long overdue re-examination of this Byzantine emperor.
