Description

The Byzantine Empire was a pivotal force in shaping modern Europe and beyond. Founded in 667 BC by colonists from Megara, it would later become known as Constantinople, a city that played a crucial role in the transmission of Christianity to the West. Throughout its thousand-year history, the Byzantine Empire was at the centre of profound geopolitical, cultural, and religious forces. Its legacy is still felt today, with its art and architecture continuing to inspire wonder. The empire's complex relationships with Islam and Christianity are also increasingly acknowledged by historians, highlighting the significant impact it had on the development of both faiths. The Byzantine Empire's story is one of dramatic sieges and conquests, including the devastating defeat at Manzikert and the subsequent fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. This book provides a fascinating exploration of this complex and fascinating period in history.
