	Belisarius Biography
		Belisarius (505-565) was probably the greatest general of the Byzantine Empire.
		In June, 530 he led the Byzantines to a victory over the Persians at Dara, followed by a near defeat (really a mutual escape) at Callinicum on the Euphrates River in 531, followed by the negotiation of an "Endless Peace" with the Persians.
		The charge was likely trumped-up, and modern research suggests that his bitter enemy, his former secretary Procopius of Caesarea, the author of the Secret History, may have judged his case.

		Belisarius had taken the city back as part of Emperor Justinian's grand plan to recover the western provinces from their barbarian rulers.
		The 5,000 soldiers that General Belisarius led included Hunnish and Moorish auxiliaries, and they were expected to defend circuit walls 12 miles in diameter against an enemy who would soon be back--and who would outnumber them at least 10-to-1.
		The man Justinian chose to lead the expedition, Count Belisarius, was about 30 years old and fresh from a stunning victory over the Vandals in North Africa.

		Count Belisarius was an outstanding general of the Roman Empire in the reign of Justinian.
		Belisarius was far more popular and better regarded than Justinian, who was therefore alert to the possibility that Belisarius might replace him on the throne.
		But Belisarius apparently believed that civic virtue was the original cause of Rome's greatness, and that he could best contribute to the common good by recalling the old ideas and ordering his life according to them, thus providing an example of what he considered to be the right way to live.

		With some of them reasons for this are not hard to find, but with others it is quite surprising.
		Count Belisarius is perhaps the most obvious case.
		As a straightforward narrative "biography" of a great military leader, with lots of dramatic events and interesting characters, I would probably have picked it ahead of I, Claudius as a candidate for popular acclaim.

		The relation between Belisarius' wife and the Empress Theodora seems to have the most depth in the story because of their unique relationship when they were younger.
		With Belisarius, however, Graves did not have to be nearly as "creative" as with Claudius, since the details of Belasarius' life are more concrete.
		For the most part, I see in Belisarius a character whose fate was not too different than that of Claudius, or at least his brother Germanicus.

	Count Belisarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Count Belisarius is a historical novel by Robert Graves, first published in 1938, recounting the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius.
		As the Claudius books were based on The Twelve Caesars of Suetonius, Count Belisarius is based on the History of Justinian's Wars and the Secret History of Procopius.
		But whereas the books based on Claudius use an autobiographical style, this work purports to be a biography written by his manservant, and thus can be seen as a satire of hagiographies sometimes written by contemporaries of great historical figures.

		This book actually takes us to the Euphrates with Belisarius and his army, to the walls of Rome and to the corrupt and violent world of Constantinople and the Hippodrome: and I don't know how it does so quite so effectively as it is not a book that is overly-descriptive.

		Another historical novel by Graves, Count Belisarius (1938), recounts the career of the Byzantine general Belisarius.
		Graves dismissed his historical novels, such as I, Claudius and Count Belisarius as mere potboilers, but they continue to be highly regarded.
		Graves is highly regarded as a novelist, but it should never be forgotten that, like Thomas Hardy (whom Graves knew and admired greatly) Graves always considered himself to be a poet first and foremost.

		"As a novelist, Robert Graves is probably best known for his reconstructions of turning points in the history of the Roman Empire (the Empire at its height in the "Claudius novels," and at its fall in Count Belisarius), of Christianity (King Jesus), of the Republican interlude inseventeenth century England (Wife to Mr Milton).

		This, I would argue, is a specific genre which started with Virginia Woolf's Flush (1933) and which had a strongly critical intent from its beginning; this is shown, for instance, by Woolf's choice of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's dog, rather than either the poet or the poetess, as her main character.
