Summary/Abstract: Amongst the many publications on Procopius of Caesarea, there is none concerning this Byzantine historian’s use of numbers. However, numbers are abundant in Procopius’s works, imparting quantitative characteristics of various objects and events he describes. An analysis of this phenomenon is worthwhile, because, it’s probably, numbers in Procopius’s works reflect notions in Early-Byzantine society.
