Empires traded with each other because trade created prosperity through stimulating production for trade and through the profits made through trade.

Constantinople, or Byzantium, as it was originally named, had always been a center of trade in that part of the world. That's one of the reasons Constantine chose it for his capital.

Constantinople was the capital city of the Eastern Roman Empire, named so after Constantine the Great. It was not an empire.

The environment significantly influenced the growth of the Roman Empire through fertile land and access to the Mediterranean, facilitating trade and agricultural productivity. Technological innovations, such as advanced engineering and military tactics, allowed for effective expansion and control over vast territories. Conversely, environmental challenges like climate change and resource depletion contributed to the decline of both the Roman and Byzantine Empires. In Medieval Christendom, similar dynamics were observed, where agricultural advancements supported population growth, while environmental stresses and technological stagnation led to periods of contraction and instability.

Byzantine art became the subject of the iconoclastic controversy twice (First Iconoclasm, 726-787, and Second Iconoclasm, 814-842. The use of icons (religious images) was opposed by the emperor and the hierarchy of the Eastern (Orthodox) Church. The emperor Leo III and his successors banned the icons. There was widespread destruction of if icons and persecutions of supporters of the veneration of images. Iconoclasm means image-breaking and refers to the deliberate destruction of the religious icons and/or other symbols or monuments of one's own culture, usually for religious or political motives.

The veneration of images had developed among the poor as a means of gaining proximity with Christ, the Virgin or the Saints. Linked to this was the spread of the myth of the Acheiropoieta (icons made without hand); that is, icons which were said to have come into existence miraculously, not created by a human painter. The icons came to be seen as having a spiritual significance of their own, as being sacred, and as possessing miraculous capacities, such as bleeding when attacked, or possessing physical force to defend themselves from infidels. There was also increasing blurring of the distinction between images not made by human hands and images made by human hands. This development was linked to the sense of insecurity which was created by raids into the Byzantine Empire and which created a need among the believers to have access to divine support. Icon veneration became an important part of Eastern (Orthodox) Christian worship.

Iconoclasm was probably an effort by the established Church and the imperial authorities counter this development and to try to reassert some institutional control over popular practice.

The iconoclasts believed that early church had opposed images in worship and wanted to restore this. Theologically, their objections to icons were based on earlier controversies about the two natures of Christ (human and divine). The official church held that the human and the divine were not separate, but were not mixed and remained distinct. The iconoclasts believed that icons were heretical because they could not represent both the divine and the human natures of Jesus at the same time. They argued that an icon which depicted Jesus as purely physical was Nestorianism (the creed of a Christian sect which believed that the human and divine natures of Jesus were separate and which had been condemned as heretical). An icon which depicted Jesus as both human and divine would do so by confusing his two natures into one mixed nature, which they saw as Monophysitism the creed of another Christian sect which was also condemned as heretic - it believed Jesus was the incarnation of a union of the divine and the human and that Jesus had only a single nature which was a synthesis of divine and human into one.

In the early beginnings of what we term "Byzantium", the two major influences on culture, architecture, arts and politics were the Western Roman "empire" and the Hellenistic Greek influence. Gradually as Rome became a long lost influence, the Greek Orthodox Christian church and Hellenistic traits came to dominate the Byzantine empire.

A Byzantine monk refers to a member of a monastic community within the Eastern Orthodox Church, particularly during the Byzantine Empire era, which lasted from approximately the 4th to the 15th century. These monks dedicated their lives to prayer, asceticism, and the study of scripture, often living in monasteries that played a significant role in preserving Christian texts and art. Byzantine monks were also influential in the spiritual and cultural life of the empire, contributing to theology, liturgy, and education. Their practices and teachings continue to shape Eastern Orthodox spirituality today.

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 people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. The emperor Justinian the Great (reigned 527-565) set out to reconquer lands lost by the western part of the empire. He managed to reconquer eastern Algeria, Tunisia and western Libya from the Vandals, Italy form the Ostrogoths, and southern Spain from the Visigoths . However, these lands were lost again. Northern Italy was invaded by the Lombards sixteen years later, southern Spain was retaken by the Visigoths seventy-two years later and Tunisia, eastern Algeria, Tunisia and western Libya were taken over by the Arabs 130 year later. The rest of the Byzantine possessions in Italy, apart from some coastal areas in the south, were taken over by the Franks 220 years later.
