Procopius of Caesarea
Procopius of Caesarea was a prominent Byzantine historian of the 6th century, best known for his works 'The Wars of Justinian,' 'The Buildings,' and 'The Secret History.' His writings provide a detailed account of the reign of Emperor Justinian I and the events of his time, including military campaigns, architectural achievements, and the complexities of court life. Procopius is often regarded as one of the most important historical sources for understanding the Byzantine Empire, and his observations on natural phenomena, such as the darkness that enveloped the Earth in 536 AD, contribute significantly to historical discussions about climate and its effects on society.
