Byzantine historians

Byzantine historians were writers and scholars from the Byzantine Empire, which lasted from the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century until the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century. They documented historical events, politics, and culture, often emphasizing the significance of the Byzantine experience in contrast to other civilizations. Notable historians like Procopius and Anna Comnena provided valuable accounts of wars, governance, and daily life, contributing to our understanding of this empire’s impact on Europe and the Middle East. Their works remain crucial for studying the history, society, and legacy of the Byzantine period.
