In 330, Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and moved the capital to the city that would later bear his name. Thus began the history of the Byzantine Empire—the oldest Christian state. Throughout its existence, its throne was successively occupied by rulers of true greatness and those deserving only contempt. During the Dark Ages, when the light of learning in the West had almost faded, the Byzantines managed to create a unique and truly astonishing phenomenon—Byzantine art, which had a profound influence on the entire Christian (and other) world. The history of the Byzantine Empire lasted approximately 1,123 years and 18 days, until 1453, when news of the conquest of Constantinople struck terror throughout the Christian world.

This book presents the history of the Byzantine Empire's rise and decline as an epic novel of grandiose intrigues, despotic rulers, madmen, traitors, conquests, and, ultimately, tragic decline. The narrative is supplemented by numerous maps, genealogies, and lists of emperors, sultans, and popes.
