Byzantium: The Eastern Empire and The Legacy of Rome

Leo Ashford

4.9/5 (32345 ratings)

Description:From Constantine’s refounding of a “New Rome” on the Bosporus to the last stand on the walls in 1453, Byzantium carried the Roman state into a new age—speaking Greek, thinking Roman, and ruling through a fusion of law, liturgy, and imperial ceremony. It survived Persian invasions, Arab sieges, Bulgarian and Slavic pressures, crusader betrayals, and civil wars—sustained by shrewd diplomacy, Greek fire, fortified frontiers, and a faith that shaped politics as surely as it shaped art.With sharp analysis and sweeping scope, The Eastern Empire and The Legacy of Rome traces a millennium of Justinian and Theodora’s audacious reconquests, the Hagia Sophia and the codification of Roman law; the Iconoclast crises and the birth of the themes; Basil II and the Macedonian revival; the Great Schism, the shock of 1204, the Palaiologan twilight, and the final fall to Mehmed II. This is not just the story of an empire that endured against the odds—it’s the story of how Rome was remade for a Christian, Mediterranean world, and how that legacy still echoes in law, faith, and the memory of empire.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
