In concluding an earlier volume on the mistresses of the western Roman Empire I observed that, as the gallery of fair and frail ladies closed, we stood at the door of 'the long, quaint gallery of the Byzantine Empresses.' It seemed natural and desirable to pass on to this more interesting and less familiar series of the mistresses of the eastern Roman Empire, and the present volume will therefore tell the story of the Empresses, or Queens, as they preferred to be called, who occupied the throne set up by Constantine in New Rome, or ancient Byzantium. (Summary taken from the author's introduction)

Amazed to discover this just now just past NOON
on 11 Sunday after PENTECOST 13 August
as no mention that this exists on Librivox is given on
the very many many videos on Youtube about Byzantine Empire
All I knew existed till now were Judith Herrin biography on three empresses
and to whom my sister sent email but never received reply
AND LYNDA GARLAND 1999 book covering 527 to 1204
about which nothing on Youtube exists
Thank you
