What kind of trade enriched Byzantine and helped it expand?
The Byzantine empire did not expand. The eastern part of the Roman Empire had already reached its greatest extent before the Byzantine period. The Byzantine empire actually lost many of its territories to the Slavs, Arabs and Turks. Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The people in question did not use this term. They called their empire Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). There was trade with the Persia, China and northern India via the Silk Road (a network of roads which crossed Asia and has been named after the most precious commodity which was traded along the routes, Chinese silk). There was also seaborne trade with southern India which used the monsoons of the Indian Ocean and crossed the Red Sea to reach Egypt. Axum (Ethiopia) also thrived on the trade along the Red Sea, which included trade with the Byzantine Empire.
What happened from 330-1453 AD?
From 330 to 1453 AD, the Byzantine Empire thrived, succeeding the Eastern Roman Empire after Emperor Constantine I established Constantinople as its capital in 330. This period saw the empire reach its height under Justinian I, who sought to restore Roman glory through military conquests and legal reforms. However, over the centuries, the empire faced significant challenges, including invasions by various groups, internal strife, and the rise of neighboring powers. Ultimately, in 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire.
What geographical location was the byzantine empire considered to be in?
The Byzantine Empire is another name for the Eastern Roman Empire. Its capital and governmental institutions were all centered around the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) and it maintained a grip on the lands around it until the city fell to the Ottomans in 1453. Thus, it can be considered that the Byzantines were generally in the Balkans, specifically the Balkan Peninsula, as the empire did not reach into Anatolia in its dying days.The contemporary people, however, didn't see it as such and often referred to the Byzantines as "Romans" and the empire as the "Roman Empire". In their time, the Byzantine Empire was considered a part of Western Europe, despite the Western Roman Empire having fallen long ago.Indeed, the term "Byzantine Empire" and the distinctions between the Eastern and Western Roman Empires were only derived after the fall of Constantinople.

Under what ruler did the Aztecs reach their greatest power?
The answer to this is not clear-cut, as it depends how you define 'greatest power'. Nevertheless, we could say that the Aztec empire was at it's largest just before the Spanish conquest. Ahuitzotl was the eighth Aztec ruler, and under his reign (from 1486 to 1502), he more than doubled the area of land controlled by the Aztecs. His successor, Moctezuma II also made substantial land gains and, in fact, the empire reached it's maximal size under his rule. Moctezuma's rain is, however, coloured by his defeat at the hands of the Spanish, and is therefore not generally regarded as the greatest Aztec ruler.
When did the Byzantine empire reach the height of its power?
The Byzantine Empire reached the height of its power during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, from 527 to 565 AD. This period is marked by military conquests that expanded the empire's territory, significant architectural achievements like the Hagia Sophia, and a comprehensive codification of Roman law known as the Corpus Juris Civilis. Additionally, Justinian's efforts to reclaim lost western territories temporarily restored parts of the former Roman Empire. However, following his death, the empire faced numerous challenges that gradually led to its decline.
