Istanbul was Constantinople and Constantinople was Byzantium ...
Welcome to T&J!
A limited podcast series devoted to sixth century Byzantium and the greatest recorded love story on earth – that between Empress Theodora and her husband, the Emperor Justinian.
Join me, your host, Christine Laskowski, on this epic, bi-weekly audio journey through a secret history, which includes (but is not exclusive to): an uprising, a plague, a reacquisition of imperial territory, a year-and-a-half when the sky went dim, an architectural innovation that went unsurpassed for 1,000 years, a codex that would form the bedrock of our modern legal system, stylite monks, fierce theological disputes, circus factions, a surprising number of civilized barbarians, a cuckolded general, a few shrewd eunuchs, and one very, very bad tax man.
