The History of Byzantine Empire: Rome's Eastern Inheritance

Bys: Auke, Fathy, Yahia, Skriuwer Com

Most people know Rome fell in 476 AD. What they don't know is that Rome kept going for another thousand years. The Eastern Roman Empire, based in Constantinople, outlasted western Rome by more than a millennium -- and that story is far more interesting than most history books let on.

This book covers the full arc: from Constantine's founding of Constantinople to the Ottoman conquest in 1453. Along the way, you get the political maneuvering, the religious conflicts, the military campaigns, and the court intrigues that kept this empire alive and relevant for so long.

What's inside:

How Constantine built a new capital and shaped an empire around ChristianityJustinian's reconquest of the western territories and the legal code that shaped EuropeThe rise and fall of Greek fire, and how it saved Constantinople multiple timesThe Fourth Crusade and how crusaders sacked the city they were supposed to protectThe final years and the Ottoman siege that ended the Byzantine world

Reader review:
"I had no idea Byzantine history was this interesting. I came in knowing basically nothing and finished the book genuinely surprised by how much happened. The section on the court politics alone was worth the read." -- Marcus P.

If you've ever been curious about the gap between ancient Rome and medieval Europe, this is a good place to start.
