Abstract

The article discusses the date of composition of Procopius of Caesarea’s De Aedificiis or Buildings. It advances a detailed rebuttal of arguments recently put forward by Denis Roques for dating the work to c.560 and deals in particular with the passage of Theophanes concerning the construction of the Sangarius bridge. It concludes by favouring the traditional dating of c.554 for the work.
