Byzantium

Today it is known as Istanbul, the modern city which stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. For centuries past, it was Constantinople. But before that, it was Byzantium, and it gave its name to an ancient empire.

Now recognised as having had a considerable influence on the Renaissance and a significant impact in the shaping of Europe, the Byzantine Empire is increasingly acknowledged by modern historians as having a pivotal role in the development of both Islam and Christianity - and the relationship between the two.

The Byzantine Empire was often at the centre of profound geopolitical, cultural and religious forces that threatened to pull it apart. It lasted for over 1000 years, created remarkable art and a still reverberating cultural legacy.

Byzantium by Giles Morgan explores this fascinating empire, shedding light on its influence and the lasting effects it had on the world as we know it today.
