The Byzantine Empire was one nation with a uniform but weak church. Europe consisted of many weak nations with one strong church. The Byzantine Empire used Greek for its main language. Greek is a modern language with definite articles and four main noun cases. Europe used Latin as its main language with more cases and no definite article making it more difficult to understand. Both used monasteries as institutes of higher learning for clergy and lawyers. Both had barons with castles who had armies independent of the government.

∙ 9y agoByzantine 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. This eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part. Originally it included part of southeastern Europe (present day Greece, Bulgaria, the Macedonian Republic, Montenegro and Albania) part of western Asia (Cyprus, Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Judea/Palestine and Jordan) and Egypt. Then it progressively lost territories to the Slavs, Arabs and Turks.

What is slogan for byzantine empire?
You have to be more specific as to what you mean by the "Byzantine Empire". If you are asking about the eastern part of the Roman empire, which historians have dubbed "Byzantine" (after the city of Byzantium), be aware that there was no such thing. It was the Roman empire-- period. Historians used the term Byzantine when they were referring to the eastern parts of the Roman empire in order to differentiate between the two areas of the empire.
