The Excerpta de Legationibus Romanorum commisioned by the Byzantine Emperor Constantinus VII comprise circa 160 diplomatic texts of 16 Greek historians from Polybius, Diodorus and Dionysius Halicarnassensis to Theophylactus Simocatta and Georgius Monachus. This new edition (the first in over 100 years) is the first to take into account the most relevant manuscripts; it opens the door for new research on Roman and Byzantine diplomacy.
