In the VI. century, a new era begun for the Eastern Roman Empire with Justinian I’s period (527-565). The territory of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium, was expanded during this period in line with the idea of claiming the legacy of Ancient Rome. Although the symbolic name of this period was Justinian (482-565), the most important name of the conquests was the Roman general named Flavius Belisarius (d. 565). Procopios (500-565), who was with Belisarius during these wars, wrote the De bellis (Wars), in eight books and produced important works on this whole process. Also, another important work of Procopios is Historia Arcana, known as the Secret History. In this study, an analysis of Procopios’ the Secret History will be presented, and some criticisms will be given on two different editions of the book.
