The author delves into the historical origins of this societal divide, highlighting the growing power and dominance of the aristocracy at the expense of the rural, lower classes. The book examines the evolution of laws and regulations that favored the ruling class, leading to the steady decline of small-scale landownership among peasants. Through an analysis of legal texts, the author sheds light on the plight of the peasantry, the strategies employed by the ruling class to maintain their dominance, and the limited interventions by emperors aimed at protecting the vulnerable. This detailed study offers valuable insights into the complex social dynamics that shaped Byzantine society during this period, providing a deeper understanding of the factors that contributed to the decline of small-scale landownership and the consolidation of power within the hands of a privileged few.
