Why did byzantine empire have such a mix of culture?

The Byzantine Empire in its heyday covered parts of Italy, the whole of Greece and the Balkan countries, Turkey, parts of what now is Syria and the Lebanon, and large coastal areas of northern Africa. The result was of course a mix of the many peoples that lived there and their cultures. The court culture also was a mix, in this case of Latin an Greek.


Who was the most important leader of the Byzantine Clergy?

Slavs definitely. Silly answer The highest Church official was the Patriarch, who was considered superior to all the Archbishops and bishops. When the Byzantine empire still controlled all the areas of the Levant and North Africa there were other Patriarchs at Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria. As he was in the imperial capital at Constantipole he was considered the most important when they met in Council. After the Muslim invasions the other patriarchs have dwindled to unimportance. The current Patriarch has a very small congregation in Istanbul, after the Greeks were expelled at the end if the first world war. He is still considered the head of the Orthodox Church, though the patriarch in Moskva controls far more adherents.


Was byzantine empire existed for 200 years for 1000 yrears?

The western part of the Roman Empire disintegrated under the wight of the Germanic invasion. The eastern part of the empire was distant from these areas of invasions and was not affected by it. Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians. The Romans called it Roman Empire. The term refers to the eastern part of the empire after the fall of the western part. It is used to indicate the fact that after it lost most of its non Greek territories (because of invasions by Arabs and Slavs) it became centred on Greece and Greek in character. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of the empire in 620. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the name of the Greek city which was redeveloped and turned into the capital of the eastern part of the empire and renamed Constantinople.
