  It's...okay. I think Brownworth adopts way too much of a great man model that oversimplifies the sweep of history. The podcast provides an OK outline, but the History of Byzantium is far deeper and holistic. Robin captures a lot of the drama of events like the Nika Revolt and the outbreak of the Justinian Plague with aplomb too.
