• 00:00:00 The Byzantine Empire was a powerful empire that flourished in the Middle Ages thanks to its location. However, in the last centuries of the Roman Empire, it was in decline due to power struggles and economic crises. Emperor Theodosius II decided to divide the Roman Empire into two parts in the 5th century AD. The western part decayed within a few decades after the arrival of Germanic barbarians, but the eastern part continued to be powerful. Constantinople, the capital of the empire, was a major trade center and its economy was greatly affected by the Silk Road. Justinian, one of the empire's most successful rulers, was determined to restore the Roman Empire throughout the Mediterranean Sea. He relied on a powerful army led by General Belisarius. After great battles, they defeated the Vandals in northern Africa and then conquered Italy and part of Spain. Finally, in 500 AD, they defeated the Ostrogodians, ending the empire's long history. The Byzantine Empire continued to be large even after its division, as it encompassed present-day Greece, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. Justinian initiated a project to build many public works, including new roads, bridges, walls, courts, and schools.
