In the west, this is seen as the time of both of modern Europe, and thus a period much researched, although with little success as there are scant records. In the east, not so much; none of the current nations of the area really trace their roots to Rome, and especially not to late-rome-in-decline.I've been in historical museums in Istambul, Jerusalem, and Cairo; neither had much on this period.On the up side, this leaves a lot of room for fantastic inventions of our own. There is also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procopius" target="_blank">Procopius</a>, a writer of the next century that you could presumably find at Project Gutenberg.</blockquote>
