Krupczyński, Piotr
The three Belisarius campaigns to the west (to Africa in
533-534 and to Italy in 535-540 and 544-549) are the subject
of this study. The basic problem of this dissertation
limits itself into the questions: Why did each of these
three campaigns of Belisarius present him more and more
difficulties which in turn made him resign the position of
the commander-in-chief during his second Italian campaign? The Introduction contains the outline of this study and
it deals with the primary souroe i. e. Procopius’ works. In
chapter first the author examines the attitude of the population
in Africa and Italy (of Roman as well as barbarian
origin) towards military and politioal operations of Belisarius.
In chapter second he seeks an answer to the question
what importance to the course of the campaigns had the relatione
of Belisarius with the emperor and his court, with
the officers cadre and the soldiers’ masses. The matter under
discussion in the third chapter are the provision and
transport difficulties with which Belisarius struggled duffing
his western campaigns. The closing chapter contains conclusions
from the whole study.
