		Augustus was a scion of the gens Julia (the Julian family), one of the most ancient patrician clans of Rome, while Tiberius was a scion of the gens Claudia, only slightly less ancient than the Julians.
		Their three immediate successors were all descended both from the gens Claudia, through Tiberius' brother Nero Claudius Drusus, and from gens Julia, either through Julia Caesaris, Augustus' daughter from his first marriage ( Caligula and Nero), or through Augustus' sister Octavia ( Claudius).
		Procopius, a Cilician maternal cousin of Julian, had been considered a likely heir to his cousin but was never designated as such.

		The senate (from senex, old man), was a smaller body consisting of the 300 heads of each of the gens.
		Procopius, his general, was quite direct about the reasons.
		It was the result of alienation and disaffection that flowed from the central characteristic of the system itself: as sole voice and source of the law, there was nothing to prevent the Emperor from abusing the law.

	Liberius the Patrician
		Caesarius' modern biographer assumes a date of 527, relying heavily on the mention of Visigothic raiders and on the evidence in Procopius for a treaty made in 527 between the Visigothic king Amalaric and the Ostrogothic kinglet Athalaric, finally settling on the Rhone as the border between their realms.
		Liberius appears in Procopius' narrative as a kind of stand-in for Germanus, ordered to make ready a force to go westward, where the Gothic king Totila was threatening the one outpost in the western Mediterranean on which the Empire could count, Greek-speaking Sicily.
		Procopius reports that the emperor swiftly repented of his decision to appoint Liberius, for he was extremely old and inexperienced in warfare.

		Procopius praises his temper, to reproach him with calm and deliberate cruelty: but in the conspiracies which attacked his authority and person, a more candid judge will approve the justice, or admire the clemency, of Justinian.
		The mode of its propagation is explained by the remark of Procopius himself, that it always spread from the sea-coast to the inland country: the most sequestered islands and mountains were successively visited; the places which had escaped the fury of its first passage were alone exposed to the contagion of the ensuing year.

		Their spirit was intrepid; yet such is the uncertainty of courage, that the two armies were suddenly struck with a panic; they fled from each other, and the rival kings remained with their guards in the midst of an empty plain.
		In the siege of Topirus, ^21 whose obstinate defence had enraged the Sclavonians, they massacred fifteen thousand males; but they spared the women and children; the most valuable captives were always reserved for labor or ransom; the servitude was not rigorous, and the terms of their deliverance were speedy and moderate.
		But the subject, or the historian of Justinian, exhaled his just indignation in the language of complaint and reproach; and Procopius has confidently affirmed, that in a reign of thirty-two years, each annual inroad of the Barbarians consumed two hundred thousand of the inhabitants of the Roman empire.

		Many other inscribed slabs were found in the 17th century, covering the loculi in which lay the bodies of later members of the family.
		Those now existing in the tomb are modern copies.' This burial-place of the Scipios is unlike those of other families, owing to the gens Cornelia keeping up the early custom of interment without burning; thus stone sarcophagi or loculi (rock-cut recesses) were required instead of mere pigeon-holes to hold the cinerary urns.

		Although the account is written in the past tense, it is known that at least some works survived until the sack as public trophies, so to speak, and therefore received public protection.
		Since one of Nicetas' charges against the Latin barbarians was that they melted down statues to make coinage - he probably knew Procopius' account (3.5.4) of how the Vandals had done likewise to Roman bronzes (Cutler 1968, 116) - it is at least arguable that de Clari refers to some works destroyed in the sack.

		This is Procopius, who wrote in Greek and was a subject of the emperor Justinian.
		Gregory’s only apparent object, as he says is his prefaces, is to record the good thigns and bad things going on in the world about him, and to preserve them for posterity in the peculiarly tangled way that, in reality good things and bad things have always occured.
		Until recently, it was customary to call Gregory’s work “The History of the Franks,” as Thorpe still does; but nothing was farther from the author’s thoughts than to place any ethnic group at the centre of his narrative.34 To that extent, Gregory is not typical of early mediaevil historians.

		The first, unsuccessful, Arab raid into Armenia in 640 found the defense of the country in the hands of the Byzantine general Procopius and the nakharar Theodor Rshtuni.
		Unable to prevent the pillage of Dvin in 642, Theodor in 643 gained a victory over another Arab army and was named commander in chief of the Armenian army by Constans II.

		It most decidedly did not spring from the legendary virtue and wonderful moral purity of the German character, which was nothing more than the freedom of the pairing family from the crying moral contradictions of monogamy.
		But if monogamy was the only one of all the known forms of the family through which modern sex-love could develop, that does not mean that within monogamy modern sexual love developed exclusively or even chiefly as the love of husband and wife for each other.
		In the pairing marriage it was customary for the mothers to settle the marriages of their children; here, too, the decisive considerations are the new ties of kinship, which are to give the young pair a stronger position in the gens and tribe.

		Certainly, some sites do display care in the reuse of spolia - such as Timgad, where the Byzantines generally did not recut any spolia for the fortress (built 539-40, as we know from the foundation inscript ion), but simply chose the blocks carefully.

		In his history of the Emperor Justinian's wars against the Goths, Procopius of Caesarea remarks that the king of the Franks [Theudebert] sent an embassy to Justinian (527-65), with some of the Angles, 'thus seeking to establish his claim that this island was ruled by him' ( History of the Wars, VIII.xx.10).
		The notion that the Franks exercised or enjoyed some kind of authority over Kent, and other parts of southern England, in the late sixth and early seventh centuries, proceeds from this statement; and it is important, not least because it seems to provide a context for the mission of St Augustine.
