The Byzantine Empire: A Complete Overview

History Documentaries

The Byzantine Empire is a complete overview of the Eastern Roman Empire from around the 500s to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. The video goes over the initial reconquest under Justinian, and the wars with the Sassanids and Arabian armies. Then comes a period called the Byzantine Dark Ages before a period of prosperity in arts, culture, and military under the Macedonians. The decline begins soon after, culminating in the Crusades and eventually the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans.
