Narses Hammer of the Goths

Narses Hammer of the Goths

 

Narses the Eunuch served as a court official in Constaninople for most of his life, rising to the position of Grand Chamberlain and trusted confidant to the Emperor. His survival for so long in such a hot-bed of intrigue as the Byzantine Court is unusual enough, but in 551AD, when he was well into his seventies, Nerses was chosen as Supreme Commander for Justinian's final attempt to reconquer Italy. Where Belisarius failed, Narses succeeded.
