About this audiobook

What lasting influence did the Byzantine Empire have on Eastern Europe and the Middle East? This book traces the history of the Byzantine Empire, which arose from the Eastern Roman Empire and lasted for over a thousand years, from 330 AD to 1453 AD. It explores the empire’s political, cultural, and religious significance, particularly its role in preserving Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christianity. The narrative examines key moments such as the reign of Emperor Justinian I, the establishment of the Hagia Sophia, and the rise of Orthodox Christianity. The book also discusses the empire’s defense against invading forces, including the Arabs and the Ottoman Turks, and its influence on the development of Eastern European and Middle Eastern cultures. By analyzing the legacy of the Byzantine Empire, the book highlights its impact on the modern world in terms of law, architecture, and religious practice.
