🔴 **The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium by Anthony Kaldellis.**

"_He reprehends the terms ‘Byzantine’ and ‘Byzantium’ as the fraudulent legacy of 19th-century scholars determined to claim the heritage of Roman antiquity for (North-) Western Europe, dispossessing its rightful heirs and smearing them, perversely, with tropes of Oriental despotism invented by the Greeks of the classical age. Save in the book’s subtitle, a commercial concession, Kaldellis restricts the offending word to historiographical contexts._"
