Men-at-Arms 247 Nicolle: Romano-Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Centuries

Romano-Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Centuries
Author: David Nicolle. Illustrator: Angus McBride
Although the Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire and faced similar military problems, its solutions were very different. In North Africa, for example, Rome's large army concentrated on securing main roads and urban centres. Byzantium's smaller army built more fortifications and took a defensive stance. The most striking characteristic of later Byzantine military thinking was, however, the theme or provincial army system, which owed nothing to ancient Roman tradition.

Men-at-Arms 287 Heath: Byzantine Armies 1118-1461 AD

The Byzantine Empire's disastrous defeat by the Seljuk Turks at Manzikert in 1071 effectively marked the end of what is often described as the 'middle' period of Byzantine history. Thereafter, surrounded on all sides by younger, more vigorous nations, the once all-powerful Empire slipped into a steady decline which, ultimately, was to prove terminal.
