Roman historian Procopius publicly praised Theodora of
Constantinople for her piety-while secretly detailing her salacious
stage act and maligning her as ruthless and power hungry. So who was
this woman who rose from humble beginnings as a dancer to become the
empress of Rome and a saint in the Orthodox Church? Award-winning
novelist Stella Duffy vividly recreates the life and times of a woman
who left her mark on one of the ancient world's most powerful empires.
Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore is a sexy, captivating novel
that resurrects an extraordinary, little-known figure from the dusty
pages of history.
