• Resumen

  • Three recent biographies concern all aspects of Justinian's reign and may also be compared. Their authors have various research specialties, which allow a diversification of the points of view. This study follows the order of P. Maraval's book (2016), the most recent in French, while regularly appealing to those of G. Tate (2004, in French) and of H. Leppin (2011, in German). G. Tate's book is almost precious for the social structures, in particular the functioning of the administration and the army, as well as the demographical and economical evolutions. H. Leppin's work is noticeable by the analysis of numerous texts, almost to demonstrate the growing importance of Christianity to legitimate the powers. Finally, P. Maraval's book shows a great precision in examining theological and more broadly cultural questions.
