Eastern Roman Empire (395 - 1453 CE) (1 gen 395 anni – 1 gen 1453 anni)

Descrizione:

Byzantine Empire (i.e., the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium): was the continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople (modern Istanbul, formerly Byzantium). It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.

Beginning: Byzantium comprises the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire at any time during which the Roman Empire was administered by a separate independent Imperial court; in particular, this term is used in historiography to describe the period from 395 to 476. 395 CE was when Constantinople became the capital city of the Byzantine Empire: 395–1204 and 1261–1453.
