Did you know that the Roman Empire lasted for a thousand years longer than is often assumed? After the establishment of New RomeConstantinoplein the fourth century CE, Roman identity, culture, and politics began a long, steady transition and transformation into what scholars call the Byzantine Empire. Of course, Christianity was a central feature of these developments, but equally important were interactions and conflicts with the peoples of Near and Middle East, north Africa, western Asia, medieval Europe, the Balkans, and the Islamic Caliphates. This course will explore these complex and fascinating processes, with a focus on how the developing institutions of the Byzantines exhibited both continuity with and change from the ancient Mediterranean world.Did you know that the Roman Empire lasted for a thousand years longer than is often assumed?
