This is Volume 2 of the historical writings of Procopius, a prominent late antique scholar and official of the Byzantine Empire. His works are an invaluable source for understanding the reign of Emperor Justinian I and the military and political events of the 6th century AD. Procopius provides firsthand accounts and insights into the wars, building projects, and personalities of his time. His most famous works include "The Wars of Justinian," "The Buildings of Justinian," and the controversial "Secret History," offering a critical perspective on the imperial court and its inner workings.

Volume 2 likely continues the narrative of these historical events, presenting a detailed picture of a crucial period in the transition from the Roman world to the Middle Ages. Procopius's works remain essential reading for anyone interested in Byzantine history, military strategy, and the lives of those who shaped a pivotal era.
