FYI, Belisarius is a character in L. Sprague DeCamp’s novel “Lest Darkness Fall,” one of my all time favorite books, read & re-read at least a half dozen times since the early ‘60s.

Interesting. I've not read it. Having looked up the summary, it seems interesting. I'd be curious to see how firm a grasp of the history DeCamp has. The "modern man transported back to antiquity where he's immediately a genius" trope is mildly tedious, though, especially given how physically soft and intellectually lazy most modern men are.
