byzantine empire

The Byzantine Empire was another name for the Eastern Roman Empire in the Middle Ages. In Chinese historical records, it is called Da Qin or Fu. In 330 AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine I (about 280-337) established a new capital on the site of Byzantium, an ancient Greek immigrant city, and named it Constantinople. In 395, the Roman Empire split into eastern and western parts. The Eastern Roman Empire had Constantinople as its capital, so it was also called the Byzantine Empire, or Byzantium for short.

1.Eastern Roman Empire

The territory of the Eastern Roman Empire included Greece, western Asia, and northern Africa. These areas included Egypt and Syria, which had relatively developed agriculture, and had many metropolitan cities and international trade ports. Therefore, the Eastern Roman Empire had a relatively active economy and a relatively stable society.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire continued and entered a "golden age".

Justinian

Justinian was born in 483 in Skopje, Thrace, into a peasant family. His uncle Justin (450-527) was born in the army and was promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard due to his meritorious service in battle. In 518, he was proclaimed Emperor of Byzantium as Justinian I. As an adopted son, Justinian assisted Justinian I in formulating important domestic and foreign policies, and received the titles of "Caesar" and "Augustus". In August 527, Justin I died and Justinian became emperor of the Byzantine Empire.
