OF THE ^- BUILDINGS OF JUSTINIAN. PROCOPIUS (CiRC. 560 A.D.). %xitnslnU1) hg AUBREY STEWART, M.A., (LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBKIDGE, AND ANNOTATED BY COL. SIR C. W. WILSON, R.E., K.CM.G., F.R.S., AND PROF. HAYTER LEWIS, F.S.A. LONDON I. ADAM STREET, ADELPHI. 1888. 9 AS^TfM. PREFACE jL'KOCOPius was born at Csesarea in Palestine, early in the sixth or at the end of the fifth century. He made his way, an adventurer, to Constantinople, where he began as an advocate and Professor of Rhetoric. He had the good fortune to be recommended to Belisarius, who ap- pointed him one of his secretaries. In that capacity Procopius accompanied the general in his expedition to the East, a.d. 528, and in that against the Vandals, A-D- 533. The successful prosecution of the war enriched Belisarius to such an extent that he was enabled to main- tain a retinue of 7000 men, of whom Procopius seems to have been one of the most trusted, since we find him appointed Commissary General in the Italian war.
