Robert Graves
Count Belisarius
New York: Random House, 1938.
First edition, second printing.
Book is in excellent condition, jacket has chips from front top and spine ends, with marked fading to spine, otherwise good.
Praised as being a better historical novel than his successful I, Claudius series, this is a re-creation of the life of a Christian cavalry Commander in the 'Dark Ages'.
Based in medieval Constantinople, Belisarius stands for the civilizing aspects of imperial conquest, continuing the legacy of the Roman Empire.
