THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE The Byzantine Empire was established with the foundation of Constantinople, but the final separation of the eastern and western empires was not complete until the late fifth century. With its political structure anchored in Greek tradition and a new religion stimulated by Greek philosophy, the Byzantine Empire survived a millennium of triumphs and declines until Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

History 607.01 A Chronology of Early Byzantine History ©Timothy E. Gregory These notes seek to cover each of the main topics discussed in this course. They are designed to supply the absolutely essential factual information and to provide an introduction to each topic. This chronology should relieve you of the necessity of taking large quantities of notes in class and allow you to listen more attentively and to participate in discussion. On the other hand, the notes are not designed to replace regular class attendance since the lectures and discussions will treat each topic in a way that is slightly different from the notes. In fact, this chronology should allow the instructor to depart from a fixed program of lectures to examine in greater detail some of the many problems raised by the study of Byzantine history. ++Special thanks to Janice Gulker and Marjorie Haffner, of the Department of History, who patiently and carefully typed this very difficult text.++ I.

Although its capital had been moved from Rome in the Latin West to Constantinople in the Greek East, the Byzantine Empire regarded itself as a continuation of the Roman Empire, differing from it only in being Christian in religion and Greek in speech. No elements in its coinage, however, apart from the use of Latin in its inscriptions, are earlier than the 4th century A.D.

They were ably assisted by assistant curator Stephen Zwirn and curatorial assistant Ginger Crockett. Joseph Mills took the photographs that were such an essential part of the exhibit, and the installation was skillfully overseen by Christopher Harrison and Suzanne Mercury. As a new initiative Dumbarton Oaks has decided to transfer the exhibit to an online format to make it more widely accessible. Clarence Foules, Chris Dunham, and Lauren Henkin of the Publications Department were responsible for the transformation of the exhibit into electronic form. Coinage of the Byzantine Empire offers insights into the numismatic holdings at Dumbarton Oaks that, with the exception of some spectacular late Roman gold and silver medallions, are only rarely on public display. As is well known, coins are difficult to exhibit because of their small size. A total of 118 gold, silver, and bronze coins were selected for display in three vitrines. They focused, respectively, on three themes: (I)

THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE Origins of Byzantium Overcrowding in the eighth century BC led Greek city-states to send out colonies throughout the Mediterranean basin. Thus in the year 667 BC the legendary Byzas from the Greek city of Megara, after consulting the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, founded the seaport of Byzantium at the entrance of the Black Sea. In the second half of the fourth century BC King Philip II of Macedon (382-336 BC) and his son Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) dominated Byzantium as they built an empire reaching from Greece to India. After his death, Alexander's generals carved up his conquests into powerful kingdoms that valued their Greek heritage. By the first century BC these nations had been absorbed into the empire of ancient Rome. The non-Christian Roman state, founded in 753 B.C, lasted 1100 years. The Early Byzantine Period (324-843 AD) The Christianized eastern part of the Roman Empire, or Byzantium, as it came to be called, continued for another 1100 years. A vital figure in its earliest years was the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine the great (274[?]-337 AD), who established toleration for Christianity throughout the Roman Empire through the Edict of Milan in 313 AD. Constantine legally transferred his capital from Rome to Constantinople, on the site of the Greek city of Byzantium. So it was that the empire continued to be ruled by Roman law and political institutions, with the elite communicating officially in Latin. Yet the population, now Christian, also spoke Greek. In school students studied the ancient Greek classics of literature, philosophy, science, medicine, art, and rhetoric. The church, which developed its own literature and philosophy, nonetheless looked favorably upon the intellectual tradition of classical scholarship. An incalculable benefit of this system was that often only that part of classical Greek literature preserved in Byzantine schoolbooks has survived into modern times.

34. Greek History, Byzantine Empire - Constantine The Great - Hellenism.Net Constantine in truth the creator of the byzantine empire . The fall of Constantinopleon May 29th 1453 was the tragic close of a long and glorious history. http://www.hellenism.net/eng/constantine.htm

Constantine The Great and Byzantium The emperor Diocletian (284-305) had thought to take the Roman Empire out of the chaos of the third century by turning its government into something like a family firm: two senior and two junior partners, with the juniors in due course becoming seniors. The scheme crashed at once; and Constantine, the son of Constantius, a junior elevated to "seniority" after Diocletian died soon after at York in 306, was an agent of its crashing. With the defeat of Licinius, ruler of the east, in 324, Constantine was master of the whole Roman Empire. Constantine gave the Roman Empire a new capital city by turning Byzantium into Constantinople; he gave it a new state religion by adopting Christianity as his own. And he took the decisive steps to both in 324. Where does this careful calculation of a statesman end and the insight of a poet begin with this uneducated soldier who could not speak to Christian bishops in their own language? The historians cannot answer. Ever since it existed at all, the Roman Empire was more of a juxtaposition than an amalgam of two dominant societies, the Roman and the Greek. Romans despised Greeks for lack of character, Greeks despised Romans for lack of culture-neither, of course, fairly.

HOME TIME AND SPACE PREHISTORY MESOPOTAMIA ... The Bubonic Plague The Byzantine Empire In 330, Constantine moved his capital from Rome to the Greek city of Byzantium. He wanted the capital of his empire to be safe from barbarian invasion. Constantine renamed the city Constantinople, but we refer to the civilizatio n centered in Constantinople as the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire began to look less like the Roman Empire as the years passed. The empire covered Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt. By the seventh century, Greek had completely replaced Latin as the language of the empire. The Byzantine emperors still thought of themselves as the successors of Caesar Augustus, but over the years Roman influence gradually disappeared. Seljuk Turks began moving into the Byzantine Empire from Central Asia in the eleventh century. The Turks had recently become Muslims, and the Byzantine emperor feared they would soon overpower his Christian empire. He asked the leader of the Christian church-the Pope-to assist in a holy war against the Turks. In 1095, Pope Urban II launched the first of many Crusades, or "wars of the cross." Soldiers from western Europe left their homes to free the Byzantine Empire of the "unbelievers." This was the first time many Europeans left their homes. Their exposure to new and different cultures was a factor that led to the Renaissance.

Royalty.nu World Royalty Royal History Ottomans > Books About the Ottomans Search The Ottoman Empire The Ottoman Empire arose from a Turkish principality founded in Anatolia (Asia Minor) at the end of the 13th century, when the empire of the Seljuk Turks had collapsed and the Byzantine Empire was crumbling. The Ottoman or Osmanli Turks were named after the founder of the royal dynasty, Osman I (Uthman in Arabic), whose descendants reigned for more than 600 years. In its heyday, the Ottoman Empire included not only Asia Minor, where modern Turkey is located, but also much of southeastern Europe and the Middle East Egypt , and part of North Africa . The empire began to decline in the 16th century, partly because of the weakness of its sultans, but it remained a world power until the early 20th century. The Ottomans sided with Germany and the other Central Powers in the First World War, and as a result the empire fell apart. In 1920 the last sultan, Mehmed VI, signed the Treaty of Sevres, which took away Turkey's territories outside Asia Minor. In 1922, Turkish nationalists abolished the sultanate and Mehmed went into exile. His cousin Abdulmecid II was then given the title of caliph. In 1923 Turkey became a republic, and the following year the Caliphate was also abolished and Abdulmecid too was exiled.
