David Drake has modeled a couple of his 'military sci-fi' series on Belisarius...minus the eye-poke ending. Quite nice, really, in a 'learn something from pulp fiction' sort of way. If you're ever forced to hold back a tide of nomads, you'll have a clue anyway.
I'd also recommend Count Belisarius by Robert Graves. Actually, almost anything by Graves. I may take my own advice, I'm about due to revisit I, Claudius/Claudius the God.
