To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
277 truth, but his thqught seems to have been that ex- pressed in the famous words, " After me the deluge." While he lived the empire was outwardly brilliant and glorious : it was his successors that had to suffer the penalty which his recklessness had deserved.
The first thing that Justinian did after Belisarius's return was to send to Ravenna the most energetic and unscrupulous of his revenue officers, a certain Alex- ander, whom the people at Constantinople had spite- fully nicknamed " Sciss...ors," because, they said, he could clip a gold coin and leave it as round as it was before. This man seems to have been entrusted with almost absolute authority over the government of Italy, and he used his power to oppress all classes alike — not only the native Italians and the Goths who had submitted to the empire, but even the soldiers, whom he cheated out of their pay and punished by heavy fines for trifling or imaginary offences.
It is easy to guess what happened. The Goths who had accepted Roman rule were driven to revolt, and betook themselves to the camp of their native king.
