Housing Neighborhoods were segregated by religion (Christians, Jews, Muslims) The wealthy people of the city lived in much nicer homes. Most lived inside the city walls for protection.

Trade and Commerce Constantinople’s location made it perfect for trade Guilds (unions) regulated most commerce Items from around the world could be found in the markets of Constantinople.

Treatment of Foreigners, Slaves, and Heretics Foreigners could be noticed by their different style of dress. The government made foreigners prove they had reason to be in the city. Slavery was permitted and accepted. Most slaves were trained in a craft or skill. Heretics (non-Christians) were forced into neighborhoods or out of the city.

Recreation Baths, theaters, and the Hippodrome existed for entertainment. People went to these places to socialize. Each year started with a week of exciting events at the Hippodrome.

Education Monks worked as scribes preserving ancient texts Academic study was only for the sons of wealthy people Wealthy girls could study at home with a tutor Skilled workers taught their sons their trade (job) Girls learned to run a household

Public Works and Charity Separate laws for the rich and poor Church and government felt they needed to help the poor The Church received money to help the poor from the wealthy

Government The Byzantine Empire was ruled by the emperor. It was believed he ruled by “Divine Right” (God’s Wishes). Groups called demes had political power (some). Demes had militias that would help the army.

Military Protection Surrounded by water on three sides and had 13 miles of walls, watchtowers, and gates. People were heavily taxed to pay for the military Used swords, bows/arrows, shields, but most dangerous weapon was Greek fire

Religion The Hagia Sophia was the religious center of the city. Services often lasted for hours. Monks, different from priests, lived alone and prayed alone for most of the day. They did not talk.
