Originally the eastern half of the mighty Roman Empire, Byzantium
grew to be one of the longest-surviving empires in world history,
spanning nine centuries and three continents. It was a land of
contrasts - from the glittering centre at Constantinople, to the
rural majority, to the heartland of the Orthodox Church - and one
surrounded by enemies: Persians, Arabs and Ottoman Turks to the
east, Slavs and Bulgars to the north, Saracens and Normans to the
west. Written by one of the world's leading experts on Byzantine
history, Byzantium: A History tells the chequered story of a
historical enigma, from its birth out of the ashes of Rome in the
third century to its era-defining fall at the hands of the Ottoman
Turks in 1453.
