Description

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.
