The Eastern Roman Empire, Many consider Emperor Constantine I (reigned AD 306--337) to be the first "Byzantine Emperor". It was he who moved the imperial capital in 330 from Rome to Byzantium, refounded as Constantinople, or Nova Roma ("New Rome").
Constantine inaugurated his new capital, the process of hellenization and increasing Christianization was already under way. The Empire is generally considered to have ended after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, although Greek rule continued over areas of the Empire's territory for several more years, until the fall of Mystras in 1460 and Trebizond in 1461.

  • Hi Brethren,

    Christ Jesus came to set us FREE of these Priests and made us the Royal Priests. These new brand of Priests were predicted in Matt.12.v43-45 in which the arid evil Temple Priests spirit could not find a green pasteure and they entered the Church of God, brought in the Jewish Leaven, the old testament and made the people drunk with the old wine desiring not the New. Nanak of the Punjab was the second coming of Christ Jesus and Now the End of Age-Atomic War is looming. Be of spirit

  • @iskander982 dude, we dont need to try to establish influence on Balkan peninsula, we already have that influence. more than 5 millions of Turkish people live all around the Balkan. And did you know the word "Balkan" is also Turkish? we dont have any ambitions on Balkan and you can realize it just by our founder Ataturks motto: Peace at home peace in the world. we dont want war, just want to live in peace.

  • A simple conclusion: Samuil tsar of bulgaria=Bulgarian Basil=greek emperor of byzantium from macedonia Samuil=enemy of basil Fyromians=bulgarians(thinking they are related with samuil) Fyromians=brainwashed Therefore Fyromians=enemies of byzantium Byzantium=greece Greece=enemy of fyrom It's all a mathematical-history puzzle which seems fyromians can't solve

    your problem is very deep, it consists in that you dont understand it.

    you are using words which not only you but the other gaps ( my be 40 000 year later) will not be able to understand them. You are just a bullsheet, that without our technology and CIVILISATIONS will not be where you are actually but eating yourselvs ( children, women, old pepple ). I am sure that you are not able to understand these words so......
