Textbook pages 298-313
Growth of the Byzantine Empire
•   Constantinople:
    – Protection of eastern frontier
    – Easily fortified (defendable), on natural
      harbor. Overlooked the Bosporus Strait.
    – Away from Germanic invasions
    – Seat of power until Ottoman Conquest in
      1453
CONSTANTINOPLE
• Crossroads of Trade:
  - Goods coming from Europe, Asia, Africa
  - Silk and paper industry thriving.
  - Taxes on trade and industry provide
  money for gov’t, army, and buildings
  -Cultural melting pot: (Roman law, Greek
      culture, and Orthodox Christianity)
• Greek + Roman = Greco-Roman
Age of Justinian
• Emperor Justinian (ruled 527-565AD) hoped to
  revive the glory and power of the Roman
  Empire.
• The Justinian Code: Codification of Roman
  Law (4 parts)
  –   Code: useful Roman laws
  –   Digest: summarized Roman legal opinions
  –   Institutes: guide for law students
  –   Novellae: contained laws passed after 534AD

      * Significant influence on European law codes
• Empress Theodora:
  - Justinian’s wife
  - Urges him to change Byzantine law to give
  more rights to women.
  -women could own property
equal to the value of their dowry.
• Nika Revolt:
  - Rebellion that threatened to overthrow
  Justinian. He wanted to flee, Theodora
  encouraged him to fight.
  -Belisarius led the troops that crushed the
  revolt. Justinian makes him general of the army.
• Constantinople was a rich city with a
  strong navy. “Greek Fire” was thrown at
  ships and set them on fire.




         THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
• The West and East had different ideas
  about church practices. This led to a
  division (schism) in The Church. 1054AD
Major Disagreements between the Roman
   Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches

Roman Catholic- WEST       Eastern Orthodox – EAST
• No Married priests       • Married priests allowed
  allowed                  • Icons rejected – later
• Icons accepted             accepted
• Pope was supreme         • Pope not supreme –
  authority
                             local leaders supreme
• Accepted the view that
                           • Believed in supremacy
  the Holy Spirit
  combines both Father       of the Father in the
  and Son (Council of        Trinity
  Nicea)
Byzantine Culture
• Passed on to future generations the learning of
  ancient Greece, Rome, and the East.
• Cyril and Methodius went to teach the Slavs the
  Bible. They gave them an alphabet which is
  known as Cyrillic.
