This is the plot of “Count Belisarius” taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belisarius
…written from the viewpoint of the eunuch Eugenius, servant to Belisarius’ wife (but actually based on Procopius’s history), the book portrays Belisarius as a solitary honorable man in a corrupt world, and paints a vivid picture of not only his startling military feats but also the colorful characters and events of his day, such as the savage Hippodrome politics of the Constantinople chariot races, which regularly escalated to open street battles between fans of opposing factions, and the intrigue between the emperor Justinian and the empress Theodora.
