Reading Annotations

Leave at least TWO substantial comments on Epistle to the Secretaries AND Procopius on Justinian and Theodora.

Reading Journal 

For this module’s journal you will focus on the selections by Procopius. His account of the Nika revolt was composed in Procopius’ official capacity as a court official and historian, while the selection from Secret History was, as the text implied, written privately and not circulated.  Does the existence of the Secret History compromise Procopius as a reliable source on Justinian’s reign?  What do you think?
