The eastern Roman Empire was able to stay strong because Constantinople and other eastern cities were on trade routes. The economic gains from trade of spices and other items from far east guaranteed wealth and stability. The eastern empire was able to stay rich and strong and then it became known as the Byzantine Empire. :)

∙ 8y agoThe Western half of the Roman Empire in the end suffered much from the combination of less-than-capable emperors and the habit that had grown there of military commanders in the provinces to claim the imperial throne when another emperor had bitten the dust (almost none died in their beds). While every few years this unrest started again, several tribes on the move invaded the Roman provinces, profiting from the fact that local commanders were vying for the throne instead of doing their job.
While Western emperors were grappling with these problems, Eastern emperors at the time had a much more regular succession and the East had the good luck of having a number of very capable emperors. Moreover, the Eastern Empire's territories were much less plagued by great movement of peoples and tribes trying to get in.
Although Byzantium would indeed survive the Western Roman Empire for 1,000 years, there was a long period of decline to precede it,partly brought about by the rise of Islam. When Byzantium finally fell in 1453 it was hardly more than a dirt-poor city-state that had for many years been paying tribute to - and as such was reduced to little more than a client State of - the Ottoman sultan.

Where does the name TEBB come from?
My father's idea is that it originated in Israel 2000 years ago, following this we were deported from israel by the conquering Romans and sent to Britain. after the Romans left we stayed. The name in Israel was Teveth or "November", after coming to Britain it was shortened to Tev. through the next 1000 years or so it became teb (with 1 B) somehow in the 1000 years we had acquired the town of tebworth (might be tebsworth, look it up) after losing our land to the goyam, our family seemed to have scattered to alot of England and some in France, and after the next 1000 years an extra B came along and some of us came to America.

The less the region was removed from the Earth's north frost pole (located in the northeastern part of Russia near Alaska), the more difficult life became and, consequently, the region has a higher technological ceiling.
