Being Byzantine. Greek Identity Before the Ottomans, 1200–1420. Hardback Gill Page 344 pages. 2008.

A systematic analysis of texts in Greek from the period 1200–1420 is backed up by an in-depth study of Frankish rule in the Peloponnese to reveal the trends in the development of Byzantine identity under the impact of the Franks.

The most striking characteristic of later Byzantine military thinking was, however, the theme or provincial army system, which owed nothing to ancient Roman tradition.
