Description: The Secret History of ProcopiusTranslated by Richard AtwaterProcopius of Caesarea, one of the most famous late Roman (or Byzantine) historians, wrote the “Secret History” around 550 CE. This controversial work starkly contrasts with Procopius’ other writings, namely his “History of the Wars” and “The Buildings.” Instead of praising Justinian’s reign and his reconquest of the West, the “Secret History” is a vehement attack on the emperor and his wife, Empress Theodora – a calculated and brutal critique of the imperial couple, their advisors, and the court. We should be aware, however, that the “Secret History” is a biased work penned by a person disillusioned with the emperor’s policies or who wanted to protect himself in case of the emperor’s fall. Procopius was one of Justinian's courtiers.
