Byzantine Empire

Where did the name come from? Byzantium  Greek colony founded in 667 BCE  King Byzas The Byzantines called themselves either ‘Romans’ or ‘Greeks’. Byzantine: a modern invention.

The Byzantine Empire The Byzantine Empire did not face barbarian invasions  Wealthier due to trade routes  More protected cities  Easier to defend

Constantinople

Trade Almost all east/west trade passed through Constantinople Made the city the wealthiest in the world

Constantinople Most enlightened city of medieval Christendom  Churches  Palaces  Libraries  Universities  Theaters  Public Baths  Aqueducts  Best wall (outside of China) in antiquity. The Walls of Theodosius

Cistern Basilica

Justinian and Theodora Imperial couple who strengthened the Byzantine Empire  Justinian  Born from a peasant family  Joined the army and rose to power  Theodora  Worked as a stripper and a prostitute  Served as wife and advisor to Justinian

Justinian and Theodora Justinian devoted resources to Constantinople  Churches – Hagia Sophia  Hippodrome Expanded empire through warfare Justinian Code

Hagia Sophia, Church of the Holy Wisdom, 6th c.

Justinian’s Code of Laws Origin of the English word “justice”  Women had more rights  They could own property  Children allowed to choose their own marriage partners  Punishments fit the crime

Nika Rebellion Problem at the gallows Rebellion of two political parties (Blues and Greens) 1/3 rd of city burned Shouted “Nika” (victory) to identify each other Theodora convinced Justinian to stay Rebels met in Hippodrome Justinian bribed Blues Greens slaughtered by army – 30,000 killed

Relations with Western Europe Different languages between east and west  Greek versus Latin Different interpretations of Christianity  Icons  Pope and the Patriarch of Constantinople excommunicated each other in 1054
