Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire lasted from approximately 500 AD to 1453 AD, overlapping with and continuing the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Some key events included Constantine moving the capital to Constantinople in 330 AD, Justinian recapturing land in the 530s AD but the Empire weakening after his death due to plague and invasions. Religious disputes also weakened the Empire, and over time the aggressive Arab Muslims absorbed more territory until the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople in 1453, marking the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire grew strong under Emperor Justinian in the 6th century AD through his legal reforms, military conquests, and construction projects. However, the Empire declined after Justinian's death due to invasions and loss of territory to neighboring powers like the Lombards and Persians. The Christian church also split between the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox branches due to disagreements over icons and the supremacy of the Roman Pope.
The byzantine-empire
The Byzantine Empire emerged as the Eastern Roman Empire collapsed in the West. Constantinople became the imperial capital. The height of the Byzantine Empire came under Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, who consolidated imperial control through law, religion, and strong cities like Constantinople. However, the Empire gradually declined as it lost territory to invading Islamic armies in the 7th century and its capital Constantinople was eventually conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453, bringing the Byzantine Empire to an end.

This chapter summarizes the origins and rise of the early Chinese empire from its beginnings until 220 CE. It discusses the geographic diversity of China, the early Xia and Shang societies, the decentralized Zhou dynasty, and the unifying but short-lived Qin dynasty that established the first centralized empire in China. The chapter then focuses on the long-lasting Han dynasty that expanded the empire through military conquests while establishing a stable Confucian bureaucracy, and describes Han society, technology, and the development of the Silk Road connecting China to Central Asia and beyond.
Roman Religion
The Romans were very religious and believed in many gods and spirits. They adopted gods from other cultures but maintained gods specific to Rome like Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. Religion was an important part of Roman society and integrated into both public and domestic life. Over time, Christianity grew despite early persecution until it became the dominant religion in the late Roman Empire.
Celtic myths and legends
Celtic myths and legends were originally passed down orally, but were later recorded by Christian monks in the 5th century onward. The myths come primarily from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. Celtic deities are often portrayed in human form in the myths, unlike Greek myths. Powerful Celtic goddesses were closely associated with the land and seasonal cycles of fertility and death, sometimes taking the forms of maiden, mother, and crone.

The Byzantine Empire, Eastern Roman Empire
The Byzantine Empire lasted from 330 AD to 1453 AD, with its capital in Constantinople. It preserved classical Greek knowledge and spread Orthodox Christianity. Politically, the emperor was head of both church and state. Justinian reconquered much of the former Western Roman Empire in the 6th century but this left the empire financially weakened. The empire gradually declined due to invasions and loss of territory to the Arabs and Seljuk Turks. The Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople in 1203, weakening the empire further until the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and ended the Byzantine Empire in 1453.
Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire originated as the eastern half of the Roman Empire, with its capital moved to Constantinople in 330 CE. At its height under Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire rebuilt and expanded Constantinople and established a codified legal system. However, the Byzantine Empire gradually lost territory to Arab armies starting in the 600s and Turkish armies in the 1000s, and finally fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
Byzantium
The document provides background information on the Byzantine Empire. It describes how the Roman Empire was originally centered around the Mediterranean but faced internal and external threats over time. Emperor Diocletian divided the empire into western and eastern halves to make it easier to govern. Constantine later moved the capital to Constantinople in Turkey. The western half of the empire continued to decline due to invasions, while the eastern half grew stronger under emperors like Justinian who reconquered territory and standardized the legal system. The Byzantine Empire had Constantinople as its capital and spoke Greek, with Orthodox Christianity becoming its dominant religion.
Byzantine Empire 10-10-16
The Byzantine Empire emerged as the Eastern Roman Empire while the Western Roman Empire declined. The Byzantine Empire had its capital in Constantinople, a wealthy trade city located strategically between the Mediterranean and Black Seas. While the Byzantine Empire shared similarities with the Western Roman Empire like its use of Latin, Roman architecture styles, and absolute rule by emperors, differences grew over time, particularly in religion, as the Eastern and Western Christian churches developed separately and eventually split in the Great Schism of 1054 CE into the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church.
Greek World Revision
The document discusses the origins of the Persian Wars between Greece and Persia from 500-440 BC. It provides context on the expansion of the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great, Cambyses II, and Darius I. This established Persia's control over Greek city-states on the Aegean coast and brought their western frontier to the coast of Asia Minor. It also summarizes the Ionian Revolt in 499 BC, in which mainland Greek city-states sent help to the Ionian states, which some see as the beginning of trouble and a catalyst for Persian invasions of Greece.

several decades prior. Egypt had risen again, with its holdings including Libya, Palestine, and Syria, in
addition to Egypt itself. Pharaohs now portrayed themselves as the son of Re, the sun god, as interest in
worshiping the sun god increased. Land gods were also worshipped by the average Egyptian for their
connection with the lands.
The post empire period: This period, after 1085 BC, encompassed ten dynasties. Egypt was dominated by
various countries during these centuries, including conquest by Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC.
The Greek Hellenistic dynasties, known as the Ptolemies, would control Egypt until it fell to the Romans in
30 BC.
The Hittites: These people migrated into Asia Minor from areas of Asia around 1750 BC and built a powerful
state. The Hittites created a powerful army based on their knowledge of forging iron, giving them the strongest
available weapons at the time as the Hittites had access to large quantities of the ore. By 1200 BC, the Hittite
Empire dominated West Asia and threatened Mesopotamia. Suddenly in 1200 BC, the Hittites lost everything.
A mysterious group known to history only as the “Sea Peoples,” annihilated the Hittites and then, disappeared
themselves (McKay et al., 2014).
Between approximately 1200 BC and 1000 BC, a new Hebrew kingdom materialized as they returned from
their enslavement in Egypt. David, King from roughly 1000 BC to 970 BC, defeated the Philistines, who had
encroached on the area in the Hebrews’ absence, and after a series of battles, reestablished Jewish
dominance of Palestine. His son and successor, Solomon, ruled from about 970 BC to 930 BC. His rule was
marked by the strengthening of the king’s authority and increased trade. Solomon oversaw construction of the
famed Temple in Jerusalem, where the Ark of the Covenant was traditionally placed. Divisions among the

Ancient Persia
Persia emerged as a powerful civilization that was successful in many aspects including religion, technology, government, and adapting to its geography. It expanded greatly through conquest under rulers like Cyrus, Cambyses, and Darius, establishing a vast empire through military victories and an effective provincial system.

Power point
The Greeks originated from migrations of people from the areas around Mesopotamia to Greece around 2000 BC. Two early civilizations, the Minoans and Mycenaeans, influenced later Greek culture before going into decline. The Greeks developed many independent city-states, with Sparta focusing on militarism and Athens nurturing democracy, philosophy, and the arts. Athens repelled the Persian invasions in the 5th century BC, beginning a period of cultural achievement, but was later weakened by war with Sparta. Alexander the Great then spread Greek culture throughout his vast empire before his early death.

Cyrus Strengths
The Persian kings established a system of satrapies, where each province was governed by a satrap appointed by the king. Satraps collected taxes and enforced laws and order in their provinces, but were ultimately accountable to the king. This allowed the Persian kings to exert control over their massive empire from the imperial center. The kings also cultivated loyalty among the satraps by rewarding obedience. Additionally, the Persians adopted a policy of tolerance, allowing local customs and religions to be practiced, which helped integrate diverse peoples into the empire. This system of indirect rule through satraps, combined with rewards and tolerance, enabled
