He's an actor in the old TV show Merlin I don't know who exactly but you could look it up.
His name is Bradley James. The show's not all that old though. The 4th season starts this fall.

The Rise and Fall, then Re-Rise and yet another Fall of the Roman Empire... Also anyway didn't Edward Gibbon mostly marginalize and ignore the Byzantine Empire?
To be fair grain isnt really comparable to the spice, there are other places with significant grain production which could feed the City, inside the Empire we have north Italy, south-east Spain and north africa. Outside the Empire Sorte Mark aka Ukraine has been called "the breadbasket of Europe".Fifth...wow, terrifying to think that Constantinople is so completely and totally dependent on Egypt. I can't think of any comparable grain production center. Not very fore-sighted of generations of Kommenids to allow this single resource choke-point to fall out of their control. At least the Corrino's realized Arrakis was the key...not their fault they had to fight someone who could see the future.
