Byzantium. History of a vanished empire
14.99 €
Emerging from the wreckage of the great Roman Empire, Byzantium has been the scene of constant invasions, sieges and wars throughout its more than a thousand-year history. The border between East and West, the symbol of the Christian world - Constantinople - beckoned invaders, amazed by its wealth and splendor. How did the Byzantine Empire, which once belonged to half the world, despite all the upheavals, existed for an astonishingly long time and why in the end disappeared almost without a trace, as if dissolved? The ancient power was saved neither by a powerful army, nor by the skill of its politicians, nor by the impregnable walls of Constantinople, nor by the belief that God would not abandon the first Christian empire on earth, which spread the new religion not only over its vast territory, but also in neighboring countries. British historian Jonathan Harris tells us how Byzantium originated, ruled the world and perished, as well as what legacy it left to the modern world.
