The first Europeans to visit Kentucky arrived in the late 17th century via the Ohio River from the northeast, and later, in the late 18th century, from the southeast through natural passes in the Appalachian Mountains. Although they had many similarities, the Fort Ancient culture lacked the Mississippian's distinctive, ceremonial earthen mounds. Around 900 CE, the Mississippian culture took root in western and central Kentucky the Fort Ancient culture appeared in eastern Kentucky. A gradual transition began from a hunter-gatherer economy to agriculture c. 1800 BCE. Archaeological evidence of human occupation in Kentucky begins approximately 9,500 BCE. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Procopius is in seven volumes.The prehistory and history of Kentucky span thousands of years, and have been influenced by the state's diverse geography and central location. Other works by Procopius are the "Anecdota" or "Secret History"vehement attacks on Justinian, Theodora, and others and "The Buildings of Justinian" (down to 558 CE) including roads and bridges as well as churches, forts, hospitals, and so on in various parts of the empire. He is just to the empire's enemies and boldly criticises emperor Justinian. He was a diligent, careful, judicious narrator of facts and developments and shows good powers of description. The whole consists largely of military history, with much information about peoples and places as well, and about special events.
Procopius's "History of the Wars" in 8 books recounts the Persian Wars of emperors Justinus and Justinian down to 550 (2 books) the Vandalic War and after-events in Africa 532546 (2 books) the Gothic War against the Ostrogoths in Sicily and Italy 536552 (3 books) and a sketch of events to 554 (1 book). He may have been that Procopius who was prefect of Constantinople in 562, but the date of his death (after 558) is unknown. Sometime after 540 he returned to Constantinople. In 527 CE he was made legal adviser and secretary of Belisarius, commander against the Persians, and went with Belisarius again in 533 against the Vandals and in 535 against the Ostrogoths. Procopius, born at Caesarea in Palestine late in the 5th century, became a lawyer.
