Anthony Kaldellis (Greek: Αντώνιος Καλδέλλης; born 29 November 1971) is a Greek and American historian and self-described Byzantinist[1] who is Professor and a faculty member of the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago.[2] He is a specialist in Greek historiography, Plato and Byzantine Studies.[2] He is also the author of numerous monographs on classical antiquity and the Byzantine Empire, which have been translated into many languages. Throughout his work Kaldellis has called into question a commonly accepted view of Byzantium as an absolutist world; he considers instead the Byzantine Empire a "bottom-up monarchy", where the common people have a good share in government, since Emperors impose laws by acknowledging their customs and demands.[3]
