Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire, often referred to as New Rome, emerged from the remnants of the Roman Empire and survived for over a millennium after the fall of Rome in 476 AD. While it shared foundational aspects such as government and legal systems with its predecessor, it evolved unique characteristics: Greek became the dominant language, and its culture was firmly rooted in Orthodox Christianity rather than pagan beliefs. The differences were marked by its emphasis on trade across Asia and Europe, distinct religious traditions, and key historical figures like Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora, who left a lasting imprint on Byzantine governance and society.
