I hope this is the right section to pose this question in? I have just finished Procopius's Gothic Wars Books V and VI From Bibliobazaar. According to Wikipedia and others....
Later, Procopius added an eighth book (Wars VIII or Gothic War IV) which brings the history to 552/553, when a Roman army led by the eunuch Narses finally destroyed the Ostrogothic kingdom. This eighth book covers campaigns both in Italy and on the Eastern frontier.
Where do I find a copy of this work in English? I have scoured the internet without success.
Procopius' narrative is continued by Agathias yet I can't find a copy of his work either as a book or online. It strikes me as odd that the two most important sources for the 6th century don't have English translations available on the Internet.
Thanks for any guidance
