Dear Patrons,
I am very pleased to share Belisarius Part 4: The General & The Eunuch!
No pitched battles in this episode (just a little one at the beginning), but instead some intriguing (and disastrous) personality clashes, some intricate negotiation, plus the sack of a great city and a very brutal execution.. (extra little fact that didn't make it into the script: we actually know this man's name: Bourkentios. And after describing his gruesome end, Procopius drily adds, 'Thus did Bourkentios profit from his love for money.')
I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to all your comments and feedback.
Merch for Typos is in effect for the first to spot one, usual rules apply.
Thanks again for your support, more news and updates soon.
Toby

Thank you. Yes it's a shocking description, and grimly familiar from 20th century archive film.

Thank you Sitraka!
12:47 Procopius's eyewitness account of the starving peasants was horrific. Not to make lights of the immense suffering those poor souls endured, but he could have been describing a scene from the likes of "The Walking Dead". Sadly humanity continued to experience such horrors even into the 20th century, thanks to Nazi concentration camps, Mao's "great leap forward" and the famines of Bengal, North Korea, and Somalia etc. Thanks yet again for an informative and thought provoking documentary, Toby.
