The unifying force in the Byzantine empire was the church . In the church the priests were the hiqhest class & this was also true in their society. The peasants were their worshippers. The church was a way to get the lower class to follow the government by connecting it to the leader . Social classes in church apply to the government .
The Byzantine Empire was formed from the remains of the roman empire. Constantine the Great became Emperor of what was left of the Roman Empire in around 324 ad/ce. He moved the capitol of the Empire from Rome, which was basically in ruins having been continuously sacked by barbarians, to Byzantium which he renamed Constantinople in 330ad/ce. This marked the beginning of what we call the Byzantine Empire, though at the time they still considered it the Roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire lasted 1123 years and 18 days(Philip Mansel). It went through periods of prosperity war expansion more war and then disintegration like all other empires and in 1453 the city of Constantinople was all that was left of the Byzantine empire. The territory it used to hole had long since been lost or fallen to the Ottomans, a nomadic Muslim people whose leader, the Sultan, was descendant from Osman(a great conquerer and leader). The Ottomans conquered Constantinople under the leadership of young Sultan Mehmet II in 1453 and this dynasty reigned till the collapse of the empire in the early 1900's. At this point the modern state of Turkey was formed and Constantinople had its name changed to Istanbul.
