Harold lamb's most book are historical friction. This book is really enjoyable because it is more like a novel or chronicle than biography.

Theodora and the Emperor: the drama of Justinian

Book name: Theodora and the Emperor: the drama of Justinian
Author: Harold Lamb


The author says this:

"All characters in this narrative are taken from the historical record. That applies to such minor figures as Porphyrius the charioteer and the blind dog of the Hippodrome. The events are actual and the incidents taken from sources of the time. Conversations between two persons have been invented for the most part, while based upon known particulars or viewpoints. Communications, letters, and episodes in the court and Hippodrome come from the record established by such scholars as J. B. Bury."
