As a Greek, all these respective comments on he byzantine empire make me really happy. So I got good news for y'all folks: Even after the fall of the byzantine empire, some remote and mountainous areas of Crete and Peloponnese remained independent all the way until our independence the 19th century. Also, the entire Peloponnese was freed from the ottomans for 28 years in the seventeenth century, the region of Chania in Crete also for 15 whole years. But generally, the Greek-Byzantines never stopped fighting and revolving and there have been numerous attempts throughout the years. So don't fear, my friends! The byzantine empire was never actually completely captured!
@snyder1171 well it depends. Are mormons in communion with Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, or Jerusalem? Do they accept at least the first seven Ecumenical Councils? Do they Baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit? If their answer is no to any one of those then they are not included. Those who take the Faith seriously enough, who looks into the history truly, and who truly delve into the Theology, they will inevitably find themselves in either the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church. The two are the only serious choices, and in the end they will be united again anyway; two choices will become the one and only choice for all followers of Christ who wish to be saved.
Even if I have a Catholic background, I think the Eastern Roman Empire was truly beautiful and fascinating, there may be historical tensions but Catholic and Orthodox shall forever be brothers

It's older than you think. It was also the symbol of the Hittite Empire (c 1000 BC), which was in Anatolia now mired in Turkey. They spoke some form of early Germanic language.
753 B.C. (Roman Kingdom Began) - 1453 A.D. (Byzantium Fell) / 1461 A.D. (Trebizond Fell) / 1479 A.D. (Epirus Fell) That's over 2,200 years. Truly the greatest civilization.
Actually, if you consider Constantinople as the sucessor of Rome, you have to consider Russia as the successor of Constantinople because they claimed that and the flags and banners headed to Moscow after 1453. So that means: 753 BC to 1917 AD. That also means that Putin is Caius Vladimius Putin, the Cesar

@Anglo Commando You are an ignorant person. I'm a Turk and we call Greeks as two things even today "Yunan" comes from Ionian and "Rum" from Roman. There is no need for hatred. Please research history before commenting. Even the Sultans including and until Suleiman the Magnificent used the title "Kayser-i Rum" They tried to carry on its legacy not destroy it.
Turkey back to Central Asia and Arabs back to Arabia. ¡Long the the glorious Eastern Roman Empire! All the peoples of the Mediterranean recover your real history and identity.
Nope Arabs are much much much closer to Syrians than Byzantines , Byzantine Greeks were invaders , and Syriac language is very similar to Arabic , both are Semitic , Greeks are not Semetic people I don't know about Turks .
Imagine this being played as the Byzantine flag is paraded at the Olympics, hosted in Constantinopolis, 2020. How history could have been oh so different.
If Roman Empire formed from one city,then the Empire will be restored by the one human.Constantinople will be restored to the true legacy of Rome,Empire and Legion.Orthodox Church will be rised and restored to the Empire.I am different culture but my heart is Roman.
Eastern Roman Empire was greek speaking, it comprised of Hellenic and Hellenistic populations and had nothing to do with latin culture. As the last emperor in his last speech on the wall stated, it was a grecoroman empire.
Rome is lost. All Romans are dead, and their lands are conquered by germanic peoples. But their legacy lives on. Letters I use to write this are from Latine Alphabet - the one that Romans created and used. Rome never fell - it lives inside us. It's all around us. It is us.
Well, Roman blood is not extinguished. In the mediterranean countries not conquered by the muslims, germanic invaders were such a small minority that they just disappeared after around two centuries or so, just like many other minorities had under the Roman Empire itself. We live on.
You there. Yes you. You who used this Latin Alphabet. You who knows the characters I use to write. You who bows their knee to God. You are a Roman. Our great civilization will never die. It will change. It will divide. It will take a new name. It will speak many languages. It will gain and lose territory throughout history. But at our core, we are still Rome.
Eastern Roman Empire was greek speaking, it comprised of Hellenic and Hellenistic populations and had nothing to do with latin culture. As the last emperor in his last speech on the wall stated, it was a grecoroman empire.
Eastern roman Empire (as any empire in human history ) had a plethora of nations , turkish such as cumans , illyrians thrachians , armenians ,greeks , slavs , e.t.c at the time of Justinian empreor reign (wich the borders were from turkey at east to spain at west ) there were more than 35 nations in the empire . Yes they were speaking in some point of time greek , but that doesn mean that all population were greeks , or the emperors were greeks , some also emperors were from two differntethinicity origin (likewise the use of the qute names "Digenis" liturly means two nations by the containt of the word Duo = two in greek and genos= orgin (the national) . In medival times most fudal aristocrat houses were from different national orgins and mix marrieges

Just brush off my comment below.
David of Trebizond is as Byzantine (Christian GrecoRoman-Rum) as it gets. The Empire of Trebizond or the Trapezuntine Empire was a monarchy and one of three successor rump states of the Byzantine Empire that flourished during the 13th through 15th centuries, consisting of the far northeastern corner of Anatolia (the Pontus) and the southern Crimea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Trebizond Since your mother and grandmother can speek pontic greek, this means you are without doubt of Eastern Roman-Byzantine descent. In fact, most people living in Anatolia today are of Byzantine descent. Anatolia was the heart of the Byzantine Empire and the people of Anatolia got turkified by force. That's the reason the dna tests of almost all modern "Turks" show that they are predominantly Anatolian/Greek (aka Byzantine), not Turkic (Central Asian). If you watch a few myheritage dna tests on youtube from turkey, you will know what I mean.
Only the same prophecy being prophesiced by (i) Saint Andrew 6th century, (ii) Genadios 4th century, (iii) Saint Kosmas the Aetolian (17th century), saint Paisios (1990s) whom he said it is coming the following years, will be a blessing prior to the Antichrist
Giorgos Greekman Ρώμη είναι το σωστό. Οι "βυζαντινοί" δεν αποκάλεσαν ποτέ τον εαυτό τους Βυζάντιο αλλά Ρώμη και Ρωμαίοι πολίτες συνεχιστές της αρχαίας παράδοσης της Ρώμης και του ελληνορωμαϊκού ιδεώδους. Ο όρος Βυζάντιο είναι γερμανογαλλικης προέλευσης επινοήθηκε πολύ μετά το 1453 και σκοπός του ήταν να υποβιβάσει τον ρόλο του ελληνοχριστιανισμου και να αναδείξει ως συνεχιστή της Ρώμης την αγία ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορία που δεν ήταν τίποτα άλλο παρά μια γερμανική αυτοκρατορία που οικειοποιήθηκε την δύση κλέβοντας την φήμη και τα επιτεύγματα της Δυτικής ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας.
buzantium was hellenic colony but Contstantine the great transfer there the new Rome..and this was the begin of Romania this was the begin of christian roman empire!!please read more for this period and you reach the truth!!
Byzantium was Eastern Roman Empire, populated by Greeks and greek-speaking, but still Rome. Nobody have ever changed its name - created at the end of 4th century, East Rome let Roman Empire exist and finally its fall marked the end of medieval era. It was Roman Empire. People that lived there considered calling them Greeks as an insult.
Rome will rise again. Not a christian empire, nor a pagan one, but a republic of justice and wisdom. Mankind freed from the shackles of religion. A happy day it will be when christianity, islam and judaism will be no more.
Jasonian Mapper Lol when started decline of byzantine?In 1071 battle of manzikert.100000-200000 byzantine vs 30000-40000 seljuk and we won.And this is not our first victory.Even we defeated them in Battle of Utus.
i have no idea how Ottomans won that battle. I really don't. but Ottomans weren't the only ones strong with fighting the Byzantines ....Bulgarians were the other ones . Battle of Achelous 917
Aleksandar Kan Byzantine's most strongest enemy was turks.Firstly Attila defeated them in 441 Utus.He came to constantinople even.Then Asparuh bulgar turk(not slavic bulgarian like today he was from old great bulgaria) defeated hem.In 1048 pasinler was also a war.But the turning point of byzantine history was 1071 manzikert.100000-200000 roman soldiers lost against 50000 seljuk soldier.And end of byzantine started here.Then after ottoman byzantine wars,in 1453 Mehmed II conquered constantinople with 50000 men and empire finished.
actually Attila was beaten by the Byzantines. I know he tried to invade them below the Danube river but was repulsed and kicked. Asparuh was Bulgar and the FIRST to make a country in Byzantine territory below the Danube river!! the creation of Bulgaria. 680/681 the Selujks were Turks right? I have no idea how Turks won the battle of Manzikert being that outnumbered. It's just not possible....the Byzantines are strong warriors but they are also very sneaky to make allies everywhere through dimplomacy skills and to attack you from all sides or to call on Crusaders for help . 1453 wasn't so impressive . 9.000 Byzantines against 100.000 + Turks ! nah not fair :D

@Anglo Commando You are an ignorant person. I'm a Turk and we call Greeks as two things even today "Yunan" comes from Ionian and "Rum" from Roman. There is no need for hatred. Please research history before commenting. Even the Sultans including and until Suleiman the Magnificent used the title "Kayser-i Rum" They tried to carry on its legacy not destroy it.

Ottomans mixed with Byzantine princess , they had alot of Byzantine blood in them and they werw called Romans sometimes .
Turkey back to Central Asia and Arabs back to Arabia. ¡Long the the glorious Eastern Roman Empire! All the peoples of the Mediterranean recover your real history and identity.
Nope Arabs are much much much closer to Syrians than Byzantines , Byzantine Greeks were invaders , and Syriac language is very similar to Arabic , both are Semitic , Greeks are not Semetic people
I don't know about Turks .

Funny fact, eastern latinity survived right on the land what the empire left during the Aurelian retreat.
We are still alive.
romanity would be a better word since the romioi of the east hated everything related to latin.
Eastern Roman Empire was greek speaking, it comprised of Hellenic and Hellenistic populations and had nothing to do with latin culture. As the last emperor in his last speech on the wall stated, it was a grecoroman empire.

Rome is lost. All Romans are dead, and their lands are conquered by germanic peoples. But their legacy lives on. Letters I use to write this are from Latine Alphabet - the one that Romans created and used. Rome never fell - it lives inside us. It's all around us. It is us.
Well, Roman blood is not extinguished. In the mediterranean countries not conquered by the muslims, germanic invaders were such a small minority that they just disappeared after around two centuries or so, just like many other minorities had under the Roman Empire itself. We live on.
Btw wrong Rome
Romans may have died, but the Greeks succeeded them and shall rule the empire for once more.

that is right it was a greek-roman empire since even the start yet
Eastern roman Empire (as any empire in human history ) had a plethora of nations , turkish such as cumans , illyrians thrachians , armenians ,greeks , slavs , e.t.c at the time of Justinian empreor reign (wich the borders were from turkey at east to spain at west ) there were more than 35 nations in the empire . Yes they were speaking in some point of time greek , but that doesn mean that all population were greeks , or the emperors were greeks , some also emperors were from two differntethinicity origin (likewise the use of the qute names "Digenis" liturly means two nations by the containt of the word Duo = two in greek and genos= orgin (the national) . In medival times most fudal aristocrat houses were from different national orgins and mix marrieges

@Ilija Stojanoski Nice, now, how about you tell us about a few Byzantine emperors with a "fake macedonian name" (southern Slavic language)? Cause I can give you the names of hundreds of Byzantine emperor's with Greek names.
@Ilija Stojanoski Justinian is a Roman name, ignorant. Vasilios (Basil) is a Greek name meaning "king". But you do nicely to mention Vasilios, he destroyed your kind...Basil the Bulgar Slayer. You're Bulgarian, boy.
Tzars? You wanna kill me with your stupidity, boy? 😂😂
When did you see any Roman emperor being called a "Tzar" in history books? Hehe, that's what they tell you in your fake country? 🤪🤪🤣🤣👎
@Ilija Stojanoski exactly, he destroyed Bulgarians, so he destroyed you. You're one and and the same. Bulgarians are of Turkish descent. Just like many of you, everybody knows that. Compare your letters with those of Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia etc, you'll find a "weird" resemblance...hehehe, weird thing for a "Macedonian" to share common language with Slavs and Tatars hmm? Hehe...

is emperor david of trebizond considered a byzantine?
Trebizond was a separate kingdom later, BUT, they made a lot of songs of grief for the fall of Constantinople...
yes!it was considered the continuation of the empire but lasted only 8 years unfortunately...
@@unnamedindividual7135 You're from Trebizond? Do you speak Pontic?
David of Trebizond is as Byzantine (Christian GrecoRoman-Rum) as it gets. The Empire of Trebizond or the Trapezuntine Empire was a monarchy and one of three successor rump states of the Byzantine Empire that flourished during the 13th through 15th centuries, consisting of the far northeastern corner of Anatolia (the Pontus) and the southern Crimea.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Trebizond
Since your mother and grandmother can speek pontic greek, this means you are without doubt of Eastern Roman-Byzantine descent. In fact, most people living in Anatolia today are of Byzantine descent. Anatolia was the heart of the Byzantine Empire and the people of Anatolia got turkified by force. That's the reason the dna tests of almost all modern "Turks" show that they are predominantly Anatolian/Greek (aka Byzantine), not Turkic (Central Asian).
If you watch a few myheritage dna tests on youtube from turkey, you will know what I mean.
Next , very next Byzantium coming again wait brothers

Not Roman,Byzantium is Hellas
Giorgos Greekman Ρώμη είναι το σωστό. Οι "βυζαντινοί" δεν αποκάλεσαν ποτέ τον εαυτό τους Βυζάντιο αλλά Ρώμη και Ρωμαίοι πολίτες συνεχιστές της αρχαίας παράδοσης της Ρώμης και του ελληνορωμαϊκού ιδεώδους. Ο όρος Βυζάντιο είναι γερμανογαλλικης προέλευσης επινοήθηκε πολύ μετά το 1453 και σκοπός του ήταν να υποβιβάσει τον ρόλο του ελληνοχριστιανισμου και να αναδείξει ως συνεχιστή της Ρώμης την αγία ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορία που δεν ήταν τίποτα άλλο παρά μια γερμανική αυτοκρατορία που οικειοποιήθηκε την δύση κλέβοντας την φήμη και τα επιτεύγματα της Δυτικής ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας.
buzantium was hellenic colony but Contstantine the great transfer there the new Rome..and this was the begin of Romania this was the begin of christian roman empire!!please read more for this period and you reach the truth!!
Byzantium was Eastern Roman Empire, populated by Greeks and greek-speaking, but still Rome. Nobody have ever changed its name - created at the end of 4th century, East Rome let Roman Empire exist and finally its fall marked the end of medieval era. It was Roman Empire. People that lived there considered calling them Greeks as an insult.
Paweł Mulak eastern roman empire was greek not italy
What are you talking about, Italians aren't Romans

Rome will rise again. Not a christian empire, nor a pagan one, but a republic of justice and wisdom. Mankind freed from the shackles of religion. A happy day it will be when christianity, islam and judaism will be no more.

You destroyed an dieing empire. Congratz.. not, even a Small nation wouldve beaten them.
Jasonian Mapper Lol when started decline of byzantine?In 1071 battle of manzikert.100000-200000 byzantine vs 30000-40000 seljuk and we won.And this is not our first victory.Even we defeated them in Battle of Utus.
i have no idea how Ottomans won that battle. I really don't. but Ottomans weren't the only ones strong with fighting the Byzantines ....Bulgarians were the other ones . Battle of Achelous 917
Aleksandar Kan Byzantine's most strongest enemy was turks.Firstly Attila defeated them in 441 Utus.He came to constantinople even.Then Asparuh bulgar turk(not slavic bulgarian like today he was from old great bulgaria) defeated hem.In 1048 pasinler was also a war.But the turning point of byzantine history was 1071 manzikert.100000-200000 roman soldiers lost against 50000 seljuk soldier.And end of byzantine started here.Then after ottoman byzantine wars,in 1453 Mehmed II conquered constantinople with 50000 men and empire finished.
actually Attila was beaten by the Byzantines. I know he tried to invade them below the Danube river but was repulsed and kicked. Asparuh was Bulgar and the FIRST to make a country in Byzantine territory below the Danube river!! the creation of Bulgaria. 680/681
the Selujks were Turks right? I have no idea how Turks won the battle of Manzikert being that outnumbered. It's just not possible....the Byzantines are strong warriors but they are also very sneaky to make allies everywhere through dimplomacy skills and to attack you from all sides or to call on Crusaders for help .
1453 wasn't so impressive . 9.000 Byzantines against 100.000 + Turks ! nah not fair :D
