This was a direct successor of The Roman Empire. The Byzantines were known for their preservation of some of the "Lore of the Ancients" including technological achievement, high literacy and a reputation for artistic craftsmanship, having innate advantages due to their superior political stability. They were also strong defenders of Greek Orthodox Christianity. They were a potent military force; not as exotic as a stereotypically medieval Proud Warrior Race, around but quite professional and helped by a well-earned reputation for strategic and political skill. While seldom strong enough to think of expansion the Byzantine Empire could usually survive. However they slowly fell into decline. In the 1200's the Fourth Crusade attacked and Pillaged the city. They stayed for several years until the city was retaken in a coup by the Greek warlord Michael Palaiologos who declared himself The Emperor of the restored Byzantine Empire, now effectively little more then a Land of One City. There was for a few generations a minor Renaissance in the City, but its time was soon to come to an end. |
