描述
A Tale of the Nika Rebellion in Byzantium. THIS story is an account of the very famous Faction struggle which nearly caused the complete destruction of Byzantium in the first week of the year 532.
The tale makes no reference whatever to any living person or existing institution. When it refers to the Dinner-Green and Sea-Blue Factions it alludes to Byzantine parties long since happily extinct, and to no existing parties wearing those or any other colours.
The book is fiction, based on the histories of the sixth century.
NOTE: A former period of Theodora and Justinians life are brought to life in Masefield`s other novel "Conquer". To get a better understanding of their rise to power, that novel should be read first.
