His tremendous victory over the Persians at the Battle of Daras wins Belisarius the adulation of a victory-starved empire but also the envy of his peers in Constantinople. The emperor Justinian now tasks his gifted young general with an even more difficult assignment: a campaign against the powerful Vandal kingdom in North Africa. But before Belisarius can set out on this seemingly impossible mission, he must prove his loyalty amid the ruins of a capital shattered by rebellion. Glory of the Romans continues the epic tale of Belisarius, the last great general of the Roman Empire. Aided by his resourceful wife, Antonina, and his stalwart band of 'biscuit-eaters', Belisarius strives to build the most formidable army fielded by the Roman Empire in over a century. But his determination breed only suspicion in the empress Theodora and jealousy in the palace chamberlain, Narses. From the desert wastes of Mesopotamia, to the riot-torn streets of Constantinople, to the crumbling walls of ancient Carthage, Glory of the Romans follows the daring exploits of Belisarius as his fame increases and his virtues are put to the test.

Review

With Belisarius II, Paolo Belzoni continues to demonstrate his incomparable mastery of all the historic resources for the life of our hero, as well as an informed imagination to sustain a storyline that cannot be forgotten or much improved. I enjoyed the second volume as much as or even more than the first. Now, for number three! --Right Rev. Constantine-Paul Michael Belisarius, Patriarchal Archimandrite of Alexandria (Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarchate)

We are using Paolo Belzoni's books on Belisarius as a supplement to our study of Byzantium this year. My two high school age daughters and I have enjoyed the books immensely. In the first few chapters of Book I there are a few conversational pieces that seem too modern for the time period they are set in. But as we pressed past that weakness, we found ourselves drawn into the well-crafted plot and enjoying the cast of characters. The glossary at the back of the book helps greatly in understanding unfamiliar terminology from the Byzantine world. In Book II Belzoni adds an additional help in listing the "Dramatis Personae": an alphabetical list of characters' names with a brief description to help you remember who is who. Belzoni does a great job of describing court intrigue, battle scenes, and the challenges of daily life in Constantinople. He does include harsh language & scenes of violence that would be expected on the battlefield, but he does not glorify this nor does he go into excessive detail. Belzoni does a fabulous job in portraying Belisarius as a man devoted to God and determined to do what is right. (If only Belisarius had had better discernment when choosing his wife!) All in all a good read with a good message. We are eagerly looking forward to Book III. Thank you Paolo Belzoni for making this time period come to life!

I purchased this product because I'd thoroughlhy enjoyed the Flint/Drake Belisarius series of 3 double books. Paolo Belzoni should at least understand the series he wants to write the prequels to. Belzoni's two books are riddled with incongruities when interfacing with the previously published Flint/Drake series. His tedious presentation wore me out; finally giving up in book 2. I've deleted both from my kindle.

Belzoni's books are excellent. I especially enjoyed the ease with which he handles Byzantine Christianity. The books were an altogether fun read, and I wish he'd hurry up with the next one already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2011
The story of Belisarius continues in this 2nd novel of the trilogy by Paolo A. Belzoni. Like in the first novel, the writing is smooth, simple, concise and yet beautiful in its flow. It is obvious that the author has clearly researched the subject material. This is shown trough the warfare, the architecture and the political background of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The author brings us into the ancient world by the proper usage of ancient terminologies in both ancient Latin and Greek. Permeated in this atmosphere, we voyage through Belisarius' military campaigns in North Africa and the conspiracies of the byzantine world.

Well written, accurate and entertaining this is a must read.
