Oxford History of Byzantium
About This Novel
The "Oxford European History" series created by more than 100 academicians over 40 years! The imperial epic of Byzantium: live for a thousand years and remain immortal, die for a thousand years and remain immortal, and after you fall you will remain immortal for a thousand years! Live for a Thousand Years and Not Die (BC509-AD476) Ancient Rome successively conquered Carthage, Greece, and Egypt, and ancient civilizations along the Mediterranean Sea successively became decorations on its pillars. In 1,000 years, ancient Rome grew from a small state on the banks of the Tiber River to a powerful empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476-1453), Byzantium was left alone to support itself in the east. The Persians and Arabs successively attacked the city of Constantinople, and the Crusaders even broke into the city directly, but the Byzantine Empire always stood firm. After a thousand years of immortality (1453 to the present), the empire has passed away, but its legacy is still far-reaching: Eastern European countries converted to Byzantine's state religion, Orthodox Christianity, and Western European countries rediscovered ancient Greek-Roman classics in Byzantium, thus promoting the emergence of the Renaissance.
