Peter Sarris

Peter Sarris is a British historian and professor of late antique and medieval history at the University of Cambridge. His book Justinian is a major biography of the sixth-century Byzantine emperor whose reign saw the reconquest of much of the Western Roman Empire, the construction of Hagia Sophia, and the codification of Roman law. Sarris draws on deep scholarly expertise to create an accessible, authoritative portrait of one of history's most ambitious and consequential rulers. Available as an audiobook and in print, Justinian appeals to history enthusiasts and listeners fascinated by the Byzantine Empire, late antiquity, and the rulers who shaped the transition from the ancient to the medieval world.
