Byzantine Empire and Eastern Roman Empire are conventional names used to describe the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, centered on its capital of Constantinople. It was referred to by its inhabitants simply as the Roman Empire, the Empire of the Romans (in Greek Βασιλεία των Ῥωμαίων, Basileía ton Rhōmaíōn) or Romania (Ῥωμανία, Rhōmanía). Its emperors continued the unbroken succession of Roman Emperors, preserving Greco-Roman legal and cultural traditions. To the Islamic world it was known primarily as روم‎ (Rûm "Rome").[3][4][5] Due to the linguistic, cultural, and demographic dominance of medieval Greek,[6] it was known to many of its western European contemporaries as Imperium Graecorum, the Empire of the Greeks.

The Eastern Roman Empire's evolution from the ancient Roman Empire can be seen as a process beginning when the Emperor Constantine I transferred the capital from Nicomedia in Anatolia to the city of Byzantium, which was renamed New Rome or Constantinople, on the Bosphorus. By the 7th century, under the reign of Emperor Heraclius, whose reforms changed the nature of the Empire's military and recognized Greek as the official language, the Empire had taken on a distinct new character.

During its thousand-year existence the Empire suffered numerous setbacks and losses of territory, especially during the RomanPersian Wars and the ByzantineArab Wars. Though its influence in North Africa and the Near East had declined as a result, the Byzantine Empire remained one of the most powerful economic, cultural and military forces in Europe. After a final recovery under the Komnenian dynasty in the 12th century, the Empire slipped into a long decline during the ByzantineOttoman Wars, culminating in the Fall of Constantinople and the remaining territories by the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century.

The Empire, a bastion of Christianity and one of the prime trade centers in the world, helped to shield Western Europe from early Muslim expansion, provided a stable gold currency for the Mediterranean region, influenced the laws, political systems and customs of much of Europe and the Middle East, and preserved much of the literary works and scientific knowledge of ancient Greece, Rome, and many other cultures.

  • @adriatic111 Dolazkom Osmanskog carstva doslo je do propasti Srbije kao i Vizantije. No ako mi nadjes jedno mjesto u Hrvatskoj kao sto je Kosovo u Srbiji onda mozemo pricati o ko je gradio a ko rusio... Srbija nikad nece imati vise nuklearni potencija od zapadnog (katolickog svijeta) ni kolonije po Juznoj Americi i Africi niti vise africkih robova... a ako imas vremena procitaj i nesto o >Constitutum Constantini< "Donatio Constantini ad Silvestrem I papam"

  • Пишите кирилицей сербы! Или вы историю свою забыли*?!

  • alealalalalalalalalalalalalala­lalalalallalaallalalalalallala­eeeeeeeeeee

  • Ako je Bizant morao da propadne bolje sto su ga zauzeli muslimani nego lazni Hriscani na celu sa papom.

  • Bizant je period ko i svaki drugi ali ne pretjerujmo. Ako pogledamo sta su Srbi i njihova 'velika' braca sa istoka radili u 20 stoljecu drugima, onda s pravom trebamo bit na oprezu. Oni su vjerovanje u Boga poistovjetili sa vjerovanjem da su nebeski narod i da im pripada pravo na prisvajanje tudjih teritorija.

    No ta teorija slabo prolazi vise danas. Sto ne grade biblioteke kao Bizant nego uglavnom oba brata samo naoruzavaju vojsku. A i glavni adut im je nuklearni potencijal

  • Rimsko carstvo je po legendi nastalo 753g p.n.e. A istocno Rimsko carstvo je palo 29 avgusta 1453 a to mu dodje 2206 godina postojanja.
