Introduction to the Byzantine Empire



The Byzantine Empire stretches across most of Europe and some of northern Africa; making it one of the largest empires that has ever existed. No one who lives in our capital city, Constantinople, has to fear of invasion because of it's prime defensive location. It is surrounded by water on three sides, meaning that our strong military force can focus on protecting one direction instead of all four. All together, these features make Constantinople a safe haven as well as an amazing place to see some stunning views.



All across the Byzantine Empire, we follow the laws that are set in place by our emperor; Justinian the First (Right). He is the supreme leader of the entire empire. His laws keep us safe and in line and, without them, our world would spin into chaos. For example, after the great riots of 532 Justinian re-built and re-invented all of Constantinople. Now, new laws are in play that prevent things such as that from ever happening again. So instead of worrying for you life in other places, travel to Constantinople for a safe and secure trip.
The Byzantine Empire strongly embraces the Eastern Orthodox Church as the only true religion. Christianity is the base religion of the Eastern Orthodox Church, so, many of the views are similar. This does not mean, however, that they are the same church. In the Byzantine Empire, our government and our religion are tightly bonded. Our emperor is not only the leader of our empire, he is also a living representation of Jesus Christ. This kind of unity can only be experienced in the Byzantine Empire.
