The Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire, often referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Its capital city was Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), and it was renowned for its rich culture, Orthodox Christianity, sophisticated administration, and formidable military, influencing much of Eastern Europe and the Near East for over a thousand years until its fall in 1453.
