A History of the Eastern Roman Empire: From the Fall of Irene to the Accession of Basil I (A.D. 802-867)
ISBN: 9781108083218 / Angielski / Miękka / 554 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The classical historian J. B. Bury (1861 1927) was the author of a history of Greece which was a standard textbook for over a century.
