* Practice saying ‘ Byzantin e !’ ( Biz – un – teen )

Constantine moved capital to Byzantium & renamed it Constantinople AD 476: Western Rome fell due to barbarian invasions Eastern Rome, ruled from Constantinople, survived for another 1000 years Preserved Greek & Roman culture

* Constantine lavished on his new capital a university, 2 theaters, 8 public and 53 private baths, 52 covered walkways, 4 law courts, 14 churches, and 14 palaces. He imported staggering quantities of the best Greco-Roman art from throughout the empire.

Overlooked the Bosporus Strait Richest & largest European city Dominated economic life in the Mediterranean Major center of trade between the east & west; where Europe & Asia meet

Easily fortified location; armies could respond quickly to threat from invaders

Mainly Greeks occupied Byzantium Greek replaced Latin as the official language Christian Church became the Eastern Orthodox Church Byzantine emperor controlled both the church and the government Emperor appointed the head of the church

 Justinian - 6th century emperor (Eastern empire)  Took power in 527AD  One of Byzantine’s greatest rulers

 Justinian had ambitious public building program  City becomes unparalleled with churches, baths, aqueducts, law courts, schools, hospitals  Free entertainment at the Hippodrome (“horse track”); held 60,000 people

 Justinian's Code:  Justinian had Roman laws codified & classified  Decided legal questions regulating marriage, slavery, property, inheritance, crime, women’s rights, etc.  Preserved Rome’s legal heritage & later became the basis for most European legal systems

 Justinian’s wife Theodora was VERY influential during his reign  Wanted to improve the social standing of women; urged Justinian to give women more rights

 Nika Rebellion – violent riot that started in the Hippodrome  Justinian wanted to flee  Theodora advised against this course of action  Justinian stayed and had his army crush the rebels; thousands killed

 Belisarius:  Peasant with little military experience  Friend of Theodora’s  Eventually appointed general of the Byzantine army

 In addition, Belisarius fought a series of wars against the Vandals, Ostrogoths & Visigoths  The Byzantines conquered these Germanic groups and extended their rule in the west

Justinian’s Empire at its Peak

 During the 8 th century a church controversy arose over the use of icons (religious images) in worship  Eastern church (Constantinople) vs. Western church (Rome)

 In AD 726 Emperor Leo III ordered the removal of all icons  Believed that they encouraged superstition & the worship of idols  Led to iconoclasts (“image breakers”) who broke into churches to destroy images

 Resulted in an argument over the true source of religious authority  Eastern church or western church?  The Pope, in Rome, claimed that he was the supreme leader of church  The Patriarch, in Constantinople, claimed that he was the supreme leader of the church

 This controversy eventually resulted in a schism (separation) in 1054  The church became permanently divided  Roman Catholic Church in the West & Eastern Orthodox Church in the East

 Both churches competed with each other for converts  Eastern Orthodox missionaries tried to convert the Slavs  Invented an alphabet for Slavic languages so they could read the bible  This is the creation of the Cyrillic Alphabet

Roman Catholic Eastern Orthodox Services are conducted in Latin Services conducted in Greek or local language Pope has authority over all other bishops Patriarch & other bishops head the church as a group Pope claims authority over all kings / emperors Emperor claims authority over patriarch & other bishops Priests may not marry Priests may marry Divorce is not permitted Divorce is allowed under certain conditions

 Byzantine art glorified religion  Icons in homes, churches & shrines  Mosaics:  Tiny pieces of colored glass or flat stone set in plaster

* Saint Sophie, Constantinople Mosaic – Bits of colored tile/glass

Mosaic

 Subjects of Byzantine art appeared stiff & artificial with calm, meditative faces to inspire reverence

* Madonna and Child, circa 1230

Greatest form of Byzantine art Greatest masterpiece: The Hagia Sophia (church), meaning “holy wisdom” (built by Justinian)

 Built in the shape of a Greek cross  Includes murals, mosaics & insets of ivory, silver & jewels

 Capped by a huge dome that rests on massive columns

* The Plague of Justinian: * In the worst year of the plague, 10,000 people died every day * Destroyed a huge % of the empire’s population

* Foreign Invasions: * Attacks from the Avars, Slavs, Bulgars and Persians * GREATLY weakened the empire

 Ottoman Turks from central Asia attacked the Eastern provinces  AD Ottomans laid siege to Constantinople  Constantinople fell…

 Expanded the Empire  Justinian’s Code  The Hagia Sophia  Helped spread Christianity  Increased women's’ rights
