conflict and alliance under Justinian and Maurice
Quatrième de couverture
This book brings to light one of the least known, yet most turbulent periods in the history of the ancient Armenian military and its complex relationship with the Byzantine Empire.
Praise for
The Armenian military in the byzantine empire
« ...Dr. Ayvazyan bas managed to perform an almost impossible task. ...a pioneering piece of scholarship, indeed capable of triggering a renewed interest by Western military historians into the too-often ignored Armenian material. »
Ilkka Syvanne
Excerpt from Foreword
« ...extremely interesting and insightful... I heartily recommend this book to all readers interested in Armenian military history of Late Antiquity. At last, light is being shed on ancient Armenia. It is to be hoped that both the author and other historians are spurred on by this example and take up the challenge of writing more. »
Ian Hughes
Ancient Warfare, VI.5
« Armen Ayvazyan's work on the historical sources is admirable. His ability to reconstruct the geographical context of the battle and then to combine the facts and conditions with the strategic and tactical movements of the opponents, deserves high recognition. »
Peter Halfter
Armenisch-Deutsche Korrespondenz, n. 158
« Ayvazyan's detailed analysis... is impressive in the richness of the notes and quotations, and shows his encyclopedic knowledge of the period - which characterizes the whole book. »
Raffaele D'Amato
