His senses sharpened by keeping his virginity to 30
>>18064413He was a known womanizer/playboy before the civil war against Bardas Phokas. Read Psellos
>>18064413This retard has to be one of the most overrated leaders of the Middle Ages. It took him half a century (50 god damn years) just to conquer a bunch of tribal Bulgarians who humiliated him in battle repeatedly. And having no children ensured that a succession crisis would ensue.

>>18064486It would be no different from a German Emperor actually conquering Italy for real and keeping it in their power for nearly 200 years after.

>>18064413>>18064486Big on this nigga.Perfect microcosm of the ineptitude of the Byzantine empire. Itd be as if the crowning achievement of a True Roman Empire was that after decades trading blows, he finally subdued a regional tribe.The Roman republic conquered all of gaul dispatching one general and a handful of legions.The grekoid corpse wearing state is a embarrassment
