Priests, artists and merchants all visited his palace. (By the year 400, the Roman Empire had split into two parts. The Empire in the west was attacked by warlike tribes and collapsed in the year 476, but the Empire in the east survived for another thousand years. The eastern Empire was known as the Byzantine Empire because its capital city, Constantinople, was originally called Byzantium. The capital city of Byzantine was named after the empire Constantine.)
