Heroes and Romans in Twelfth-Century Byzantium

The Material for History of Nikephoros Bryennios.

This study of Nikephoros Bryennios' history of the Byzantine Empire reveals how cultural memories of classical Roman honor informed Nikephoros Bryennios' history of the eleventh century and his political choices. It examines his use of classical Roman constructions of masculinity and honor.
