More about the book

Exploring the Jewish community in Byzantium, the book delves into their historical privileges, particularly under Roman rule, and the challenges faced during the reign of Theodosius II. Despite restrictions, Jews maintained a significant societal role, navigating power dynamics through alliances with various groups, including the Himyarites and the Khazars. Author Elli Kohen aims to revive the voices of historical figures and chroniclers, highlighting multicultural cooperation and providing a complementary perspective to existing literature on Byzantine Jews.
