Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dramatizes and retells a chapter from the fascinating and little-known history of Byzantium, in particular the usurpation of Romanus by Nicephorus Phocas. Nicephorus had been appointed Marshal of the East during the reign of Constantine VII, and served in this capacity under Romanus. In this capacity, he had led an army to defend the Eastern provinces from Muslim expansion, pushing deep into Muslim territory. The drama depicts the political, military and spiritual challenges of these campaigns, and Nicephorus's personal journey from a loyal general to an ambitious usurper. The author uses a fascinating cast of characters and a detailed understanding of the period to help the reader understand the complexity of the era. The play ends with Nicephorus's coronation in the patriarchal church of Hagia Sophia.
