Byzantine Empire

The Ottomans destroyed the last part of the Byzantine Empire. (Constantinople)

The Battle of Manzikert is seen as the beginning of the end of Byzantine control over Asia Minor. After that, the Seljuks continued to expand into Asia Minor.

Byzantine Influence: The Byzantine empire influenced the early Russians for many reasons. One was that they converted all the Slavs (Early Russians) to Christianity. After that, they took on the Greek alphabet and converted all the Bibles into a Slavic tongue Which easily means that they gave them language. Vladimir made the orthodox Christianity the religion of the Russians. Soon, Russians adapted aspects of the Byzantine culture such as art, music, architecture and an example of this is Byzantine domes started to take on an onion shape which is typical in Russian churches.

The Byzantine Empire was greatly weakened by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, which captured large swathes of the empire, including Constantinople. Though the Queen of Cities and much of the lost land was eventually reclaimed, the Latins had severely damaged both the economy and the military capabilities of what they had conquered initially- indeed, Constantinople was nearly deserted. The Byzantines were further weakened by a series of civil wars in the 14th century, and finally by the growth of the Ottoman Turks, who finally laid siege to Constantinople in 1453 and captured it, thus finally ending the Byzantine Empire.

The political center of the Byzantine Empire was in Constantinople but the empire itself encompassed the Mediterranean area including Spain, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, and parts of the Middle East.

Constantine the Great favoured Christianity. He built some of the early Christian churches, arbitrated between different Christian doctrines and promoted Christians in the imperial administration.

Despite this, Constantine continued to observe Roman religion. He was keen on celebrating Apollo and the sun-god. He retained the title of Pontifex Maximus (the head of Roman state religion) throughout his life. The triumphal Arch of Constantine which celebrated his victory at the battle of the Milvian Bridge bore pagan symbols and no Christian symbols. In 321 he instructed Christians and non-Christians to observe the venerable day of the sun, the day of the cult of sun-worship. Roman coins had pagan gods on them for 8 years after the battle. Even after that, Christian symbols appeared only as Constantine's personal attributes. The Chi Rho (the first known Christian symbol which preceded the cross) was between his hands or on his labarum (a military standard with a Chi-Rho on it) but never on the coins themselves.

It is not certain whether Constantine converted to Christianity. It was said that he was lying dying in the city of Nicomedia he spoke of his hope to be baptised in the River Jordan, where Christ was said to have been baptized, requested the baptism straight away. According to Eusebius, the bishops performed the sacred ceremonies according to custom" in Nicomedia. However, it is not certain whether these words actually meant baptism or whether these events actually occurred.

The most notable Christian churches Constantine had built were the original Basilica of St Peter's in Rome, the St John Lateran's Basilica (the city of Rome's first Cathedral and the original residence of the Popes), the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem.

None. The Byzantine empire was the eastern part of the Roman empire. The people there considered themselves Roman just as the people in Italy considered themselves Roman. Culturally, the Byzantine part of the empire was more Greek orientated than the western.

Poor people got free bread and shows and wealthy people lived in town or on large farming estates. Many of these wealthy people had once lived in Rome.

Seljuks took a forceful hold on the Asian provincesa that belonged to the empire, which cut off must of their abundant source for tax revenue and territories which supplied food.

After they Lost the battle of Manzikert in 1071 they were not able to help the people when Turks attacked them.

New Empires Arose

The Byzantine Empire had been growing steadily smaller and weaker for centuries, but it was finally defeated altogether by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

The Catholic Church was made the sole legitimate creed (and therefore the state religion) by the Edict of Thessalonica issued in 380 by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II.

At that time the Catholic Church was a church which subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity and which was opposed to different interpretations by other versions and sects of Christianity. It had two branches, the church of the west (Latin) and the church of the east (Greek). After these two churches split, they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively.

The purpose of the edict was to ban other versions and sects of Christianity which were branded as heretic. It also begun their persecution, particularly that of Arian Christianity, which was popular in the empire. The edict also banned paganism.

Christianity began when Jesus started preaching the gospel of God. Since our Gregorian calendar is based on the time of Christ's crucifixion, and his Church was created from his disciples at or about the time of his crucifixion, it is safe to say his Church is roughly 2007 years old.

Although Christianity does have a moral law, it is not codified in any expected way. First of all, Christian moral law is more concerned with ones attitudes and thought patterns than it is with ones actions. To even have thoughts of lust is a sin even if one does not commit any lustful act. Second, Christian moral law deals more in generalities rather than in specifics. Honoring our parents is a very generic commandment and the Bible gives no specific methods for how to do this. Therefore, this question can only be answered in vague generalities: love God, love your neighbor, the ten commandments, and observe moderation without selfishness.
