Byzantine Empire Concept Map Essentials
The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, centered on Constantinople, that survived in the East after the West fell in 476 CE. It lasted until the Ottoman conquest in 1453. Its history divides into a few main branches: political rule, religion, culture and the wars that shaped it.
- Origins: Roman division, Constantine and the founding of Constantinople.
- Justinian era: codified law, the Hagia Sophia and wars of reconquest.
- Religion: Orthodox Christianity, iconoclasm and the schism with Rome.
- Decline: the Fourth Crusade, Latin rule and Ottoman expansion.
