Economy and Society in the Age of Justinian

Auteur: Sarris, Peter (University of Cambridge)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
Examines the social and economic context of the reign of the Emperor Justinian (527-65) and argues that, instead of the omnipotent autocrat of much imperial propaganda, there emerges an Emperor desperately trying to reinforce the fiscal basis of the state in the face of large-scale aristocratic tax-evasion and resistance.
