Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was a continuation of the Roman Empire centered on Constantinople from AD 330 to 1453, blending Roman governance with Greek culture and Christianity. Origins and Foundation The Byzantine Empire originated in AD 330 when Emperor Constantine I established Constantinople on the site of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium, creating a “New Rome” that would serve as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Unlike the Western Roman Empire, which fell in AD 476, the Eastern Empire survived for nearly a millennium, preserving Roman administrative structures while gradually adopting Greek language and culture.
