Discover The Byzantine Empire History From Start To Finish!
If you asked someone today when the Roman Empire ended, they might tell you 476 CE, the year that the final Roman Emperor in the west died. If you had asked someone at the time though, they might have told you that Rome was still very much alive-in Constantinople. The Byzantines were not simply persistent Romans: they were their own distinct and long-lived society, both Roman and more. From Constantine's founding of Constantinople in 330 CE to the city's fall in 1453 CE, the city and all that was controlled from it had an impact on the world, well beyond its boundaries. As the second longest-lived empire in the history of the world, one might say that this was inevitable, but it was the leadership it had during the best periods in its history that truly made the difference.
The history of the Byzantine Empire tells a tale of monumental victories and equally significant defeats-of a phoenix rising from the ashes over and over again until it simply ran out of miracles. It is also the tale of civilization which impacted and influenced virtually every one of its neighbors well after its fall and whose culture has persisted in some ways to this day.
