Byzantium by Raúl Parra Sanz

The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire and its provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople. It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the year 5 AD and existed all the way until the Fall of Constantinople under the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the year 1453 AD
