In what year did the
Western Roman empire
finally collapse
due to the invasions
by Germanic tribes?
476 A.D.
Emperor Constantine
moved the capital out of
Rome and to the eastern
capital of Byzantium, a
city he renamed for
himself –
Constantinople.
The eastern half of the
old Roman empire
would now become
the Byzantine Empire.

527 – Justinian becomes ruler
of the eastern empire
Justinian I
Ruled 527-565 A.D.
1. What did Justinian accomplish during his reign?
Conquered new lands and retook former Roman lands so that
his new Byzantine empire almost as big as Rome’s had been.
Belisarius was Emperor Justinian’s head general and
one of the greatest military commanders of his time.
He spearheaded Byzantium's attempts to rebuild the
Roman Empire, retaking North Africa from the
Vandals. His very successes, however, made him many
enemies. Incriminated in a plot against Justinian, his eyes
were put out on the Emperor's orders in 561 A.D.
Belisarius

According to a historian named
Procopius,
Belisarius was stripped of all his
possessions and was reduced to
begging in the streets
of Byzantium.

His legal experts complete large body of civil laws – called
“Justinian’s Code”
Justinian appointed a commission in 528 A.D., consisting of
ten persons, to make a new collection of imperial constitutions.
The result was to gather together all Roman law into one code,
known as the Justinian Code.
The Justinian Code was divided into four parts:
The Institutes served as a textbook in law for students and lawyers.
The Digest was a casebook covering many trials and decisions.
The Codex was a collection of statutes and principles, and
The Novels contained new proposed laws.
This legal code became the foundation of law in most western European countries.
It was a compilation of early Roman laws and legal principles, illustrated by cases, and
combined with an explanation of new laws and future legislation to be put into effect.

Theodora was the daughter of a bearkeeper
at the Hippodrome. Hardly the kind of
background one would expect of a future
Empress. Her former profession as an
actress was also a mark against her.
Needless to say Justinian’s marriage to her
created quite a scandal.

The Hippodrome was the center of
Byzantine social life much like our sports
arenas are today.
Huge amounts were bet on chariot races, and
the whole city was divided between fans of
the Blue and Green chariot racing teams.
The rivalry between Blues and Greens
sometimes became mingled with political
squabbles, and riots the size of civil wars
would erupt in the city.
The most severe of these was in 532.

These riots in 532 A.D. were called the Nika Riots
("Nika"= "Victory!"),
and grew from political unrest
over the government's new tax measures.
Rival gangs of Blues and Greens
(admirers of rival chariot-racing teams)
fought in the streets.
Justinian wanted to leave the city during the riots, but two of his
generals (Belisarius and Narses) and his wife Theodora, persuaded
him to stay.
Theodora took it upon herself to raise a personal army,
an army that eventually killed 35,000 people in a single day.

Early accounts suggest that this site
had been the site of a pagan temple and
was replaced with a church by the Eastern
Roman Emperor Constantius,
son of Emperor Constantine who had
liberated the Christian faith from
centuries of persecution.
Constantius' church was dedicated
in 360 AD. and was known as
the Great Church because it was the
largest at the time.
It was later destroyed in mob riots.

Reading a Primary Source, Procopius’ Secret History Packet, p. 3
Recognizing POINT OF VIEW
in the telling of History……….
Today the world remembers Justinian as a powerful ruler, a great builder, conqueror,
teacher and lawgiver. But this is only because "history is written by the winners," and
Justinian was a winner. The most important and respected source historian for this
period was Procopius of Caesarea. Procopius accompanied Belisarius on some of his
great conquests, wrote the emperor’s official histories of the wars and of Justinian's
immense building programs. He ensured that we remember Justinian as a superman.
But that was not the whole truth.
Procopius dared not say what was really going on. He feared for his life (and the lives
of his family) if he did. So he wrote another, secret history, with strict instructions that it
was not to be published until after his death. This history was so shocking, so
devastating, that scholars wanted to believe it was a forgery. Yet every test that can be
made on it, shows it is no forgery. According to Procopius, the emperor Justinian who
ruled the eastern Roman empire in the 6th century was demonic in his cruelty –
determined to whatever it took to rebuild the empire –
“yet in rebuilding it, he was destroying it.”
Procopius was not alone in secretly hating Justinian.
The chronicler Evagrius also agreed that Justinian would go to hell.

CONSTANTINOPLE’S STRONG MILITARY DEFENSE & TECHNOLOGY
SAVE THE DAY
On two occasions, from 674 to 677, and again in 717-18, Arab armies besieged
Constantinople by land and sea. Superior military organization, the city’s high walls
and its strategic location, and the timely invention of one of history's most decisive
weapons, a medieval form of napalm dubbed "Greek fire“ used by the Byzantine
naval fleet enabled the Byzantines to weather the storm. The cost to both sides
was high. By 800 A.D., Byzantium had lost most of her territory south of the Taurus
Mountains and much of the remainder of the empire lay devastated. The Arabs lost
untold thousands of men through futile attacks against Constantinople's defenses.

“The Great Schism in Christianity
must not be viewed as the result of only
one quarrel in the Church.
It is not true that
after centuries of perfect peace,
suddenly on account of one dispute,
the Christian world fell apart.
It was rather a case of a breach of communication caused by long-festering anger and
bad feelings, not by a rival theology initially. It would be inconceivable that hundreds of
Bishops would suddenly break away from union with their chief, if all had been going
smoothly before.
The great schism is rather the result of a very gradual process. Its Causes must be
sought centuries before there was any suspicion of their final effect.”

THE CRUSADES
A 200 year period of 9 Crusades total in which
the Western European Christians
attempted to retake the “Holy Land” (Jerusalem)
from the Muslim Empire.
The

Europe…
…were

the treasures that were taken
from Constantinople’s
churches in 1204.

1054 – Christianity splits into the
Roman Catholic Church in the West
and the Orthodox Church in the East.
5. What was the effect of the Schism?
Christianity was permanently divided
between Roman Catholic (in West) and the
Orthodox Church (in East).
1204 – Crusading Christians from Europe
loot and pillage Constantinople.
The looting of Constantinople in 1204
by the European Christian Crusaders
was an irretrievable disaster for the Byzantines.
With its territory and resources shrinking,
Byzantium was never again able
to fully quell internal disorders
or to exercise independence from outside powers.
The state became so impoverished that in 1369
Emperor John V was arrested for debt in Venice as
he tried to obtain financial help from the West.
PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.
The weakened Constantinople could not defend itself from the
rising new power in the region – the Ottoman Turks – who,
by the 1300s – had completely encircled the old Eastern capital.

Byzantine Christian Missionaries Visit the Slavs
The brothers Cyril and Methodius were living in a monastery in Constantinople
when the Slavic leaders sent for a Christian teacher.
Cyril was selected and was accompanied by his brother. The two “missionaries” who
learned the Slav language and converted many of the people to Christianity.
Because they were acquainted with the language of the Slavs, Cyril and Methodius were then
chosen to provide a written alphabet for them. Cyril invented an alphabet for the Slavs,
using the Greek letters and, with the help of Methodius, translated the Gospels into the Slavic
people’s language.
Today the Cyrillic alphabet is still used in Russia and other parts of eastern Europe.

5. What were some effects of Mongol rule on Russia?
Ironically, it helped to unify Russia since the Mongols
viewed Russia as part of their own unified empire.
It isolated Russia from Western Europe
(gave Russia its “identity struggle” – Asian?)
Led to the rise of Moscow as center of power.
Ivan I, or Ivan the “moneybags”, was the leading prince of Moscow and, after
crushing a Russian / Slavic revolt against the Mongols, was rewarded as the Mongol's
leading tax collector and made himself and Moscow very wealthy by maintaining his
loyalty to the Mongol Khanate of the Golden Horde.
He used this wealth to give loans to neighboring Russian principalities. These cities
gradually fell deeper and deeper into debt, a condition that would allow Ivan's
successors to annex them. Ivan's greatest success, however, was convincing the Khan
that his son should succeed him as Grand Prince of all Russia. Therefore, from then on
the important position always belonged to the ruling house of Moscow.
