    It’s honestly so impressive to see the Byzantines dominance in Europe for so long especially considering the constant wars they were always engaged in against the massive empires of Middle East

      Byzantines never existed. They were the Romans since ancient times. The division between "Byzantines" and "Romans" is nothing more than a fiction spun by western Europeans since the 9th century AD, one still in continuation until today.

      ​@oppionatedindividual8256 Rome was bilingual. The Latin half collapsed and slowly rebuilt by Germanic, Latin speaking barbarians while the East kept strong. It'd take until the medieval warm period for the west to truly compare

      Not really Catholic. The term may have been coined by a Catholic, but it wasn't until the late 19th century when the term came into common and official use when post-enlightenment era scholars were establishing fields of study and curriculum for universities in the US and western Europe. Before that "Byzantine empire" was just meant in reference to its capitol.
      There also were actual Byzantines who had their own unique and important history(667bc-195ad-330ad).

    • @thx1168

      Yes, and the term has real value. Though the Byzantines were "Roman" at least politically during that later period, the empire's center and people had shifted.

    dude your content is phenomenal. Just found this channel a couple days ago and have already watched about two hours. I know for a fact that if this channel gets noticed more it will blow up; I follow much larger ancient history channels that are much less polished in their scripts(none of this is news to you, you already know you do a good job). oddly enough when i went back to find your channel a second time I noticed that searching "Serapeum" in youtube does not bring this channel up--just a bunch of videos about the serapeum of saqqara-I had to search "Serapeum Rome" to find it again. I am not sure if this information is useful to you but you deserve to be noticed more.

    I am surprised that you do not mention the impact of the great schism of 1054 and the consequences, 17 years later the total rooting out of, in south italy , of the greek byzantine orthodox governance .The schism had an immense effect as normans sided with the Paupe and overcome the byzantine ruling
    Also it depends of what side you look at the Ecclesiastical history
    Was the Patriarch of Konstantinopoli that was drifting apart .from where ? Or the Roman bishop ,Paupe , who included the Filioqwe in the Nicæan Decree ?
    Something that goes on up to now dividing the Churches
    Easily after 1071 and gradually the ortodox church and Credo changed in south italy The last insult was the Florence synod of 1446? THUS the remaining orthodox had to submit to Rome Although still remaining places that follow the orthodx rites even today but in a Uniate form

    All the luxury videos in UA-cam (like this one) seem to be serving the same "atzzzeenntttaaa"! That Byzantium was "Roman" with no Greek constituents! That's false narrative alright! The Eastern Mediterranean wasn't "Roman" even during its proper Roman occupation (2nd century BCE - 4th century CE). In reality, it was highly "Hellenized"! Apart the Roman Prefect and his entourage very few people in the Eastern Mediterranean spoke Latin or kept practicing Latin customs and traditions! Let alone during its Byzantine period, when it was predominantly Greek with some Roman constituents! But certainly not "Roman" - especially from the 6th century CE onwards!
