o Constantine, right widely separated in organization authority of the finish Roman
sovereignty (the initial masculine for a prolonged whilst to be in which position), is

Characteristic:
o In 323 Emperor Constantine moved the capitol of the Roman Empire to
Byzantium. It was then renamed Constantinople. The Eastern part of the
empire developed differently then the Western. The Western Empire fell in
400's with an invasion from the northern Germanic Tribes. The Byzantium
Empire (Eastern section) stayed in tact over a thousand years longer, till the
fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Turks. Constantinople was renamed by
the Turks Istanbul, which is the the name it bears to this day. The art and
architecture reflects differences between the Roman Catholic religion which
develops in the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Orthodox religion
which thrived in the East, in the Byzantium Empire.
