520    A generation of historians has been captivated by the 
       notorious views on gender found in the mid-sixth century 
       Secret History by the Byzantine historian Procopius of 
       Caesarea. Yet the notable but subtler ways in which gender
       coloured Procopius' most significant work, the Wars, have 
       received far less attention. This monograph examines how 
       gender shaped the presentation of not only key 
       personalities such as the seminal power-couples Theodora/ 
       Justinian and Antonina/ Belisarius, but also the Persians,
       Vandals, Goths, Eastern Romans, and Italo-Romans, in both 
       the Wars and the Secret History. By analysing the purpose 
       and rationale behind Procopius' gendered depictions and 
       ethnicizing worldview, this investigation unpicks his 
       knotty agenda. Despite Procopius's reliance on classical 
       antecedents, the gendered discourse that undergirds both 
       texts under investigation must be understood within the 
       broader context of contemporary political debates at a 
       time when control of Italy and North Africa from 
       Constantinople was contested.
