Emerging from the ruins 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 of the West and the East, the symbol of the Christian world - Constantinople - attracted the invaders, striking with its wealth and magnificence. How did the Byzantine Empire, which once owned half the world, despite all the upheavals, lasted an amazingly long time, and why did it finally disappear almost without a trace, as if dissolved? Neither a powerful army, nor the skill of its politicians, nor the impregnable walls of Constantinople, nor the belief that God would leave the first Christian empire on earth, which spread the new religion not only over its vast territory, but also in neighboring states, saved the ancient state. The British historian Jonathan Harris tells about how Byzantium was born, ruled the world and died, as well as what legacy it left to the modern world.
