Book Description:

The Byzantine Empire, which thrived from 395 to 1453, was a fascinating place. Its people thought of themselves as Romans, spoke Greek, and hailed from all across Europe and Asia. Centered in today's Istanbul, it was a Christian empire that preserved and developed Europe's intellectual heritage at a time when western Europe was in decline.
