Name: Byzantium: The Enduring Legacy and Hidden Secrets of the Great Empire
Author: Viktor Nikitin

аннотация

Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire, was a millennium-long cultural and military bridge between continents, preserving Rome’s legacy and defending Europe against invasions. Far from an impostor, it shaped religion, art, and politics, influencing the Renaissance and Orthodox Christianity. Its wealth and diplomacy balanced power, while its symbols and traditions lived on, notably in Russia. Byzantium’s profound legacy endures in shaping the modern world.
