Sowohl die Regierung Kaiser Justinians I. (527-565) als auch die spätantike/frühbyzantinische Armee sind seit einigen Jahren intensiv diskutierte Themen gerade der althistorischen Forschung. Dabei wird allerdings die Militärpolitik aus der Analyse der kaiserlichen Regierung weitgehend ausgeblendet. Die Rolle des Kaisers als Oberkommandierender der Armee findet kaum Beachtung, obgleich Justinian in einem seine Vorgänger weit übertreffenden Maße Kriege geführt hat. Der Kaiser gilt als akribischer Organisator der zivilen Verwaltung, aber militärisch eher als Laie. Hier wird nun erstmals umfassend die These argumentiert, dass Justinian militärischen Sachfragen insgesamt deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet hat als bislang angenommen. Von Beginn an betrieb er eine aktive Militärpolitik, die freilich zunehmend politischen und finanziellen Kontigenzen ausgesetzt war und schließlich scheiterte. An der Schnittstelle von Alter Geschichte, Byzantinistik und Militärgeschichte angesiedelt, stellt die Studie somit einen Beitrag zu der vieldiskutierten Frage nach den konkreten Entscheidungsabläufen und der Intentionalität des kaiserlichen Handelns im frühen Byzanz dar.

Justinian's triumphal column was the tallest free-standing column of the pre-modern world and was crowned with arguably the largest metal equestrian sculpture created anywhere in the world before 1699. The Byzantine empire's bronze horseman towered over the heart of Constantinople, assumed new identities, spawned conflicting narratives, and acquired widespread international acclaim. Because all traces of Justinian's column were erased from the urban fabric of Istanbul in the sixteenth century, scholars have undervalued its astonishing agency and remarkable longevity. Its impact in visual and verbal culture was arguably among the most extensive of any Mediterranean monument. This book analyzes Byzantine, Islamic, Slavic, Crusader, and Renaissance historical accounts, medieval pilgrimages, geographic, apocalyptic and apocryphal narratives, vernacular poetry, Byzantine, Bulgarian, Italian, French, Latin, and Ottoman illustrated manuscripts, Florentine wedding chests, Venetian paintings, and Russian icons to provide an engrossing and pioneering biography of a contested medieval monument during the millennium of its life.
