Hello everyone, this is a quick message to say that the latest Byzantine stories episodes

are available to buy.

It's a two-part story about Procopius of Cesaria.

Yes, the man who wrote the histories of Justinian's Wars, the Secretary of Belisarius.

In part one, we cover his life story and look into the content of each of his works to hear

the sort of thing he chose to report.

And in part two, we delve into the hidden criticisms and claims about the emperor.

What do we know for sure?

What can it tell us about people in the sixth century and the process of writing history?

Before you switch off though, let me just advise you, if these episodes sound tempting, then

now might be a good time to buy a subscription to the feed.

Because within the next couple of months, I will be running another fundraising sale,

putting one of the narrative episodes behind the paywall.

It remains the best way to ensure that the podcast is funded and can roll on for the foreseeable

future.

So if you get a subscription now, then that episode will just appear in your feed, no fuss,

no bother.

And not to mention that with your $42 subscription, you will automatically get over seven hours

of content plus the promise of six more episodes across the next 12 months.

If any or all of that interests you, then head over to the history of Byzantium.com.

And in the very top right hand corner of the page, it says, sale instructions.

Click on that and it will walk you through.
