The history of Byzantium dates back to the fourth century. Emerging as a result of the deep crisis of the Roman Empire, it turned into one of the most powerful states of the Middle Ages and for more than a thousand years occupied a special position between the Eastern and Western worlds. Renowned Byzantine researcher and author Dionysios Stathakopoulos shows the development of Byzantium from the division of the Roman Empire to the very fall of Constantinople in 1453, highlighting the main stages in its remarkable and controversial history. Particular attention is paid to the historical background against which Byzantium reached its heyday and the legacy left by the long history of this state. Stathakopoulos analyzes in depth the political events, economy, social system, and culture of the Byzantine Empire and the reasons why it became a center of arts, theology, and education for centuries to come.
The edition contains maps, black-and-white illustrations, and a detailed appendix with information on the peoples neighboring Byzantium and its chronology. The book was previously published in the Historical Interest: A Brief History series under the title A Brief History: The Byzantine Empire.
