330c.e. Constantinople - Emperor Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople. This was significant because Constantinople became the major city of the Byzantine Empire, and it would stay strong and be guarded until 1453 when it fell to the Turks.
5th century. Fall of Western Rome - Germanic tribes and Huns set Western Rome on fire after the empire collapsed. This was significant because the inhabitants of the Byzantine empire were close enough that they could see the smoke rising from their neighboring empire and were only protected by the wall surrounding Byzantium.
6th century. Roman Law - Emperor Justinian ordered a famous codification of Roman Law called the Corpus Iuris Civilis. This was significant because it became the basis of imperial law in the Byzantine Empire and was the last product of Eastern Roman culture to be written in Latin.
7th century. Greek - Greek became the official language of the Byzantine Empire. This was significant because it split the two sides of the Mediterranean.
7th century. Reign of Heraclius - The Byzantine Empire faced attacks from the Persians and the Slavs. A new system of defense was put in place, which made a civil governor also a military leader of an area. This was significant because it fostered an increased militarization of the empire.
11th century. The Crusades - When Emperor Alexius I Comnenus sent a call for help, Pope Urban II instead set in motion a series of Crusades that lasted for 200 years. This was significant because the Fourth Crusade took Constantinople and the Byzantine rulers never really recovered from it.
1259 c.e. Restoration of Constantinople - Michael Paleologus took control of the kingdom of Nicaea and led a Byzantine army to recapture Constantinople two years later, and then established a new Byzantine Empire. This was significant because the Byzantine Empire had been saved, although it was no longer a Mediterranean power.
1453 c.e. Fall of Constantinople - The Ottomans attacked and broke into Constantinople, looting and capturing the city which they then converted into a mosque. This was significant because this was the fall of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of the new capital of the Ottoman Empire.
