@Gattamalata, I agree but the volumes compliment each other. Late Byzantine secondary stuff ( beyond Osprey introductions) are pretty rare. I just picked up a used copy of Maurice's Strategikon. I've heard there's a fairly recent overview of the Varangians in Imperial service ( seen more from the Varangian POV rather than the Byzantine) but haven't been able to find it.

The Machiavellian Moment by JGA Pocock. The first 60% of the book deals with the types of political thought going on in Florence during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The rest shows how that formed the basis of English and American republicanism. |

I have Bartusis' book already. Gattamalata, I'll have to try to get a copy of the Kyriakidis book. Thanks! My idea is to build a Moreote Byzantine army for the 1444 campaign. Western European contemporaries of the later Byzantines sometimes show "Romans" for Biblical scenes in what looks like it could be very late Byzantine armor. Definitely not proper Principate Romans.
