Yayın Byzantine military rhetoric in the ninth century: A translation of the Anonymi Byzantini Rhetorica Militaris(Taylor and Francis, 2021) Theotokis, Georgios; Sidiropoulos, Dimitrios; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüByzantine Military Rhetoric in the Ninth Century is the first English translation of the ninth-century Anonymi Byzantini Rhetorica Militaris. This influential text offers a valuable insight into the warrior ethic of the period, the role of religion in the justification of war, and the view of other military cultures by the Byzantine elite. It also played a crucial role in the compilation of the tenth-century Taktika and Constantine VII’s harangues during a period of intense military activity for the Byzantine Empire on its eastern borders. Including a detailed commentary and critical introduction to the author and the structure of the text, this book will appeal to all those interested in Byzantine political ideology and military history.Yayın The Campaign and Battle of Manzikert, 1071(ARC Humanities Press, 2024) Theotokis, Georgios; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüThe Battle of Manzikert on August 26, 1071 is widely regarded as one of the most significant turning points in medieval history, frequently presented as the culmination of a Turco-Islamic assault upon the Byzantine bulwark of a Christian world struggling for survival. Emperor Romanus IV’s campaigns between 1068 and 1071 do, in many ways, represent the empire’s fightback against an enemy that for decades had penetrated deep into Asia Minor, its heartland and strategic bulwark. Yet Manzikert was not a disaster. This book examines the geopolitical background and the origins of the campaign that led to the battle, the main protagonists, and their strategies and battle tactics. It also evaluates the primary sources and the enduring legacy of the battle, for both the Greek and Turkish historiography of the twentieth century.Yayın Timeless principles of war and the vertical transmission of military knowledge through the Taktika(Brill, 2024) Theotokis, Georgios; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüIt is my intention in this chapter to bring to the forefront the common ele¬ments and ideas that shaped the structure and content of what we have come to identify as military manuals, and to compare samples of this particular liter¬ary genre from different cultures (Rome, Byzantium, Islamic polities) in order to showcase the vertical (chronological) transmission of military knowledge between “military cultures”. My focus will be on the following common char¬acteristics: the advisory nature of these manuals; the writing during a period of intense socio-political instability for the State; the author trying to make sense of the socio-political turmoil and decline of his time; the trend to blame their contemporaries, not just for not consulting previous treatises on military matters, but for completely ignoring the study of the ‘science’ of war; the time¬less interest in the fighting abilities, ideology and institutional framework for war of their nation’s neighbours and enemies; the struggle to make sense of defeat; avoiding battle and to confirm the historians’ view that sieges, raids, skirmishes and ambushes dominated medieval and early modern warfare.Yayın War in eleventh-century Byzantium introduction(Routledge, 2021) Theotokis, Georgios; Mesko, Marek; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü[No Abstract Available]
