The person and the politics of the East Roman Emperor Leo are the focus of this book, which attempts to reconstruct the events of the years AD 457-460 as exactly as possible. The most important topic is the Council of Chalcedon and the religious and political conflict caused by the assassination of the Patriarch of Alexandria. It also deals with the tense relationship with the Western Empire, the Goths, and the over-powerful general Aspar, as well as the laws passed by the Emperor. An extensive excursus underpins and expands the chronological narrative in more detail.
