In what ways were the Byzantine and Islamic civilization different from the civilization developing in western Europe?

Answer 1

The Byzantine Empire was the first Christian empire. It was in territory that now is called Turkey. The Byzantine Empire was formed from the remnants of the Roman Empire. The Byzantines were also slightly less brutal then their predecessors.

Answer 2

The Byzantine Empire was 800 years after the Western Roman Empire. They had made much progress in agriculture and expansion.

Answer 3

Both of the empires were christian, but the Roman Empire was more Roman Catholic, whereas the Byzantine Empire was Orthodox, which eventually turned into Greek Orthodox. The Roman Empire also believed that the Pope (or religious rulers) were above the Emperor in terms of power, and in the Byzantine empire they believed that the emperor had more power over the Patriarch.

Answer 4

The Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire. Byzantine 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. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.
