* Procopius of Caesarea, historian

The story told in the opera is quite different from the real one, despite the fact that Zeno claimed to use several historical sources ( Evagrius Scholasticus l. 2. c. 7, Procopius of Caesarea, Historia Vandalorum, l. 1, Paul the Deacon, vi ): Ricimer captures Rome, frees his sister Teodolinda and enslaves Placidia, daughter of Valentinian III ; a little later, Olybrius frees Rome and Placidia, and marries her.

He was the pupil of Procopius of Gaza, who must be distinguished from Procopius of Caesarea, the historian.

Evagrius builds upon the documents written by Zachariah, Symeon Stylites the Elder, Eustathius of Epiphania, John Malalas, Zosimus, and Procopius of Caesarea.

The exemplar secret history is the Anecdota of Procopius of Caesarea ( known for centuries as the Secret History ).

The word ' anecdote ' ( in Greek: " unpublished ", literally " not given out ") comes from Procopius of Caesarea, the biographer of Justinian I, who produced a work entitled ( Anekdota, variously translated as Unpublished Memoirs or Secret History ), which is primarily a collection of short incidents from the private life of the Byzantine court.

This flood is mentioned in the writings of the court historian Procopius of Caesarea.

On the other hand, authors such as Ammianus Marcellinus ( 4th century ) or Procopius of Caesarea ( 6th century ) were able to keep the tradition of classical historiography alive.

During 5th and 6th centuries, several writers ( Marcellinus Comes, Orosius, John Lydus, Isidore of Seville, Procopius of Caesarea ) used the same ethnonym Getae to name populations invading the Eastern Roman Empire ( Goths, Gepids, Kutrigurs, Slavs ).

Belisarius ' fleet during the Vandalic War, as described by Procopius of Caesarea, was apparently at least partly fitted with lateen sails, making it probable that by the time the lateen had become the standard rig for the dromon, with the traditional square sail gradually falling from use in medieval navigation.

Byzantine scholar Procopius of Caesarea described the Otherworld beliefs of the ancient Gauls.

The Lazic War is narrated in detail in the works of Procopius of Caesarea and Agathias.

Procopius of Caesarea calls him " Hellestheaeus ", a variant of his throne name Ella Atsbeha or Ella Asbeha ( Histories, 1. 20 ).

Basic information about Armenian pagan traditions were preserved in the works of ancient Greek authors such as Plato, Herodotus, Xenophon and Strabo, Byzantine scholar Procopius of Caesarea, as well as medieval Armenian writers such as Moses of Chorene, Agathangelos, Yeznik of Kolb, Sebeos and Anania Shirakatsi, not to mention oral folk traditions.

Procopius of Caesarea famously derided them as " a crowd of pitiable peasants who come into battle for no other purpose than to dig through walls and to despoil the slain and in general to serve the soldiers the cavalrymen ".

As a humanist Bruni was essential in translating into Latin many works of Greek philosophy and history, such as Aristotle and Procopius.

Procopius, John Malalas, the Chronicon Paschale, and Zacharias called him " John the Cappadocian " for disambiguation reasons, as the name John ( Ioannes in Greek and Johannes in Latin ) were widely used by his time.

In his History of the Wars, Procopius mentions a story ( which Gibbon disbelieved ) where, on hearing the news that Rome had " perished ", Honorius was initially shocked ; thinking the news was in reference to a favorite chicken he had named " Roma ".

Justinian was a prolific builder ; the historian Procopius bears witness to his activities in this area.

Though his early reception in the city seems to have been lukewarm, Procopius won favor quickly by using propaganda to his advantage: he sealed off the city to outside reports and began spreading rumors that Valentinian had died ; he began minting coinage flaunting his connections to the Constantinian dynasty ; and he further exploited dynastic claims by using the widow and daughter of Constantius II to act as showpieces for his regime.

* April – May – Emperor Valens defeats the troops of Procopius in the Battle of Thyatira, bringing an end to his revolt ; Serenianus and Marcellus are killed.

The difficulty has been raised, especially by geologists, that the promontory ceased to be an island well before Homer's time ; but Procopius remarked that the promontory has all the appearance of an island until one is actually upon it.

All writers concur in representing it as a very ancient city ; Solinus and Stephanus of Byzantium ascribe its foundation to Diomedes ; a legend which appears to have been adopted by the inhabitants, who, in the time of Procopius, pretended to exhibit the tusks of the Calydonian Boar in proof of their descent.

The date of his birth is unclear ; John Malalas claims that at his death he was 82 years old, hence born in 449, but Procopius mentions that he had barely entered puberty when his father Peroz was killed with his entire army during a campaign against the Hephthalites in 484 at the Battle of Herat.

After this disaster, only few members of the royal line remained ; according to Procopius, of the ca.

This may be because both languages were East Germanic and closely related ; scholars have pointed out in this context that Procopius refers to the Goths, Vandals, Visigoths, and Gepaedes as " Gothic nations " and opines that they " are all of the Arian faith, and have one language called Gothic ".

He edited Procopius for Niebuhr's Corpus of the Byzantine writers, and between 1846 and 1851 brought out at Oxford an important edition of Demosthenes ; he also edited Lucian and Josephus for the Didot classics, while his work on Homeric scholarship is represented by his four-volume edition of the Homeric scholia.

In later years, the Via Egnatia was revived as a key road of the Byzantine Empire ; Procopius records repairs made by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I during the 6th century, though even then the dilapidated road was said to be virtually unusable during wet weather.

The name " Kastoria " first appears in the middle of the 6th century ( 550 AD ), mentioned by Procopius as follows :" There was a certain city in Thessaly, Diocletianopolis by name, which had been prosperous in ancient times, but with the passage of time and the assaults of the barbarians it had been destroyed, and for a very long time it had been destitute of inhabitants ; and a certain lake chances to be close by which was named Castoria. There is an island in the middle of the lake, for the most part surrounded by water ; but there remains a single narrow approach to this island through the lake, not more than fifteen feet wide. And a very lofty mountain stands above the island, one half being covered by the lake while the remainder rests upon it.

His name is the most common in all historic records of Slavic religion ; in fact, he is the first Slavic god mentioned in written history ( Procopius in his short note mentions that the god of thunder and lightning is the only god of Slavs, lord of all ).

Constantius II built there a magnificent bridge over the Pyramus ( Malalas, Chronographia, XIII ; P. G., XCVII, 488 ) afterwards restored by Justinian ( Procopius, De Edificiis, V. 5 ) and has been restored again recently.

Thus we can trace the development of the legend from a letter, but no image in Eusebius, to an image painted by a court painter in Addai ; then to a miracle caused by the letter in Procopius, which becomes a miracle caused by a miraculously-created image supernaturally made when Jesus pressed a cloth to his wet face in Evagrius.

Justinian rebuilt his birthplace in Illyricum, as Justiniana Prima, more in a gesture of imperium than out of an urbanistic necessity ; another " city ", was reputed to have been founded, according to Procopius ' panegyric on Justinian's buildings, precisely at the spot where the general Belisarius touched shore in North Africa: the miraculous spring that gushed forth to give them water and the rural population that straightway abandoned their ploughshares for civilised life within the new walls, lend a certain taste of unreality to the project.

His next oration is addressed to Valens, congratulating him on his victory over Procopius in June 366, and interceding for some of the rebels ; it was delivered in 367.

Even earlier than this collection, it is referred to by Procopius of Gaza ( c. 465-528 ), and Methodius appeals to Justin in support of his interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15: 50 in a way which makes it natural to assume the existence of a treatise on the subject, to say nothing of other traces of a connection in thought both here, in Irenaeus ( V., ii .- xiii.

Procopius Anthemius ( c. 420 – 11 July 472 ) was Western Roman Emperor from 467 to 472.

Procopius of Gaza ( c. 465-528 AD ) was a Christian sophist and rhetorician, one of the most important representatives of the famous school of his native place.

Procopius ( c. 325 / 326 – 27 May 366 ) was a Roman usurper against Valens, and member of the Constantinian dynasty.

The Roman historian Procopius ( c. 500 – 565 ) described the Franks and their use of throwing axes:

* Procopius ( usurper ) ( c. 325-366 ), nephew of Emperor Constantine I, a Roman general and usurper emperor

* Procopius Anthemius ( c. 420-472 ), a Western Roman Emperor ;

* Procopius of Gaza ( c. 465-528 ), a Christian rhetorician

The contemporary historian Procopius ( c. 500 – 565 ) gives the following description:
