The Byzantine Empire in 780 from A History of the Byzantine State and Society by Warren Treadgold
Nicephorus turns his attention to the Balkans and begins settling colonists in the Peloponnese. His plans for Macedonia though are thwarted by the Bulgars. The Emperor organises a mass migration from Anatolia to Europe and reorganises the Themes and the finances of the state to make the new venture a success.

The History of Byzantium 
Can’t believe i found out this such experience website. I’m playing MTW Broken Brescent & listening to you. For anyone who enjoys history this podcast is amazing.Good job you have a new fan.
One of these days, I’d love to hear an episode where things are going well for the people of Byzantium. Of course 1453 has to come along, but the empire has to have some good times now and then, right?
There’s still going to be a glorious recovery here and there, just you wait.
