Teodora. Aktorka, kurtyzana, cesarzowa

Her motivations and inner life feel so rich and nuanced. I wonder what sources or creative choices shaped this portrayal.

Her life as actress, empress, and regarded as a 'whore' raises tough questions about morality and power. How did others interpret her story?

The vivid descriptions and historical details made the world feel alive. I'm curious whether the author based this on specific sources or a broader vision.
