The Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire

-Constantinople was a vital center of the empire because it was well protected and rich with plenty of goods to trade.

The byzantine emperors were different than kings because they were autocrat's. This means they had absolute power over everything including the church.

The decline and eventually destruction of the Byzantine Empire was because the Automine Empire took over the Byzantine Empire.

The Byzantine military was at that time one of the strongest militarys' in the world.The economy flourished tremendously under the strong central government.
