The dominant Mediterranean power in the fifth and sixth centuries,
by the time of its demise at the hands of the Ottomans in 1453 the
Byzantine empire was a shadow of its former self restricted
essentially to the city of Constantinople, modern Istanbul.
Surrounded by foes who posed a constant threat to its very
existence, it survived because of its administration, army and the
strength of its culture, of which Orthodox Christianity was a key
element. This historical atlas charts key aspects of the political,
social and economic history of a medieval empire which bridged the
Christian and Islamic worlds from the late Roman period into the
late Middle Ages.
