About life in Byzantium during the early 6th century A.D., which was without justice or honour or shame. A lack of sanity that was upheld by the violent suppression of truth: the hallmark of a Universal State. And while Procopius blames Justinian for the ruin of 6th century Byzantium, the same kind of collapse could easily be observed in late 20th century South Africa, and both were the result of the discarding of tradition by selfish citizens.
