Early byzantine army effectiveness and equipment
#2
Rome had been on the strategic defensive since Hadrian. Indeed under Justinian the Early Byzantines went on the strategic offensive: recapturing Africa, Italy and Southern Spain. As late as Maurice they were expanding their Eastern border at Persia's expense - though their position in Italy had collapsed and the Balkans were becoming almost indefensible.
