Byzantine Empire

Shelf by nono umasy
The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was a continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. It lasted from the division of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western halves in the 4th century AD until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The empire was characterized by its capital city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), a strong central government, innovative administrative systems, and the promotion of Orthodox Christianity. Despite facing challenges from both internal divisions and external threats, the Byzantine Empire played a pivotal role in preserving classical Greek and Roman knowledge, fostering a rich cultural and artistic legacy, and serving as a buffer between the civilizations of Europe and the Islamic world. Its complex political system, military strategies, and contributions to art, architecture, and law significantly influenced the development of the medieval world.
