Asked in History, Politics & Society, Byzantine Empire
What factors allowed Byzantium to survive for such a long time?
As the central city of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople
(formerly Byzantium) was set up against cliffs that provided a
natural barrier for invading forces. Walls were built - three deep
- on the open side toward the sea. Those reinforcements coupled
with good irrigation and soil, cleanliness, the ability to trade
with a variety of nations allowed Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul
to be self sufficient for an extended period of time - well over
1000 years in fact.
Constant change in leadership that was undermined and the
determination of the Ottoman forces were the primary reasons the
city changed hands.

Asked in Ancient History, Byzantine Empire
When did the byzantium originate?
Unfortunately there's not a clear answer to this as historians
disagree over when the 'Byzantine Empire' changed from simply being
the 'Roman Empire'. In truth, the populace of the empire never
considered themselves to be 'Byzantine', they actually thought of
themselves as Roman. 'Byzantium', as it is referred to today, is a
bit of an awkward term that was created by pre-twentieth century
historians. It's used to describe the late Roman Empire and comes
from the original name of its capital city: Constantinople. Which
had previously been known as 'Byzantium'. There are a group of
arguments amongst historians with regards to when 'Byzantium'
began:
In 286 AD when the Roman Empire was divided into Eastern and
Western halves by the Emperor Diocletian.
When Constantine built the city of Constantinople, c.324-330
AD
When the last Western Roman Emperor died, 476 AD
During the Islamic expansion in the 7th century AD
Though there is an agreed upon end-date(1453). In truth it may
simply be easier to view this as the 'Later Roman Empire', as many
of the customs and traditions (though certainly not the religious
commitments) of the people stay the same until the Islamic
expansions - hence the argument for such being the beginning of
'Byzantium'.

How did the Roman and Greek Empires influence American Society?
The superiority views of the mentor of Alexander the Great
(Aristoteles) heavily influenced the Roman Empire.
These superiority views of Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics) many
ages later were base of Protestant Religion.
During Enlightenment fundamental protestants fled from all over
Europe to America to establish a New World.
That took killing millions of Red Indians and the life of even
more millions of black slaves
But in the view of Aristotle superiority and slavery of inferior
humans are 'natural'.

Many have asked the historical account of byzantium.
History has it as a myth that it was founded by BYZAS, between
the golden horn and lygos.They called it BYZANTION after their
leader BYZAS. The old greek biography states it was BYZAS who
founded it, called it Byzantine, he was alexanders general in
search of conquest, proclaiming it part of alexanders empire after
his name.But history states Greeks colonized it in 750-550 bc,
could it be like today, Macedonia was not considered greek.Byzas
men in history are called men of Megra. If the present city is not
old enough, look towards the sea where boats would have landed and
built his fortress, as a general keyed on defense part of an empire
of Alexander, not as migrate people.
The Vikings called Byzantium Miklagard, meaning city of gold
