It is so amazing and wonderful in The Byzantine Empire, I absolutley love it. You should come by and live their. The military built 3 different walls 70 ft tall and 40ft thick making it almost impossible for the enemy to get through, plus the Byzantine Empire is formed on a peninsula by H20 (water) on 3 sides. A chain was spread across the harbor so intruders will not invade them. The military is really strong so they could put up a good fight against the enemy. Finally the peninsula is a factor for protection because it has three sides of H20 making it difficult for the enemy to get across.

Justinian is one of the greatest emperor in Byzantine history and the 16th emperor in The Byzantine emperor. His wife Theodora the first lady influenced Justinian to make more rights for woman. For example, to vote, to own more land etc. She helped Justinian run the Byzantine Empire and give The Byzantine Empire more power. Justinian noticed that the empire's law was disorganized. So Justinian ordered a group of legal scholars to reform the empires law. The scholars then renamed the empire's new laws and codes to Justinian's law code. Officials,business people and individuals can could understand and read the new rules that Justinian invented.

Daily life in Rome was pretty normal for everyday life. There were 4,000 houses and every neighbor hood had different types of classes. Segregated groups were groups who had to be separate from their own religion. For example American, Jews, and Muslims. They lived in ghettos, or houses with heretics, people who have different opinions. Other people were welcomed unless they spoke Greek and belonged to Orthodox Christianity.

Constantinople mains belief was Christianity. Christianity spread across the Roman Empire from the teaching of Jesus. Jesus was Jewish and Roman. The Roman Empire thought that Christianity would take over their empire so the Romans stopped Jesus and crucifixion,to bound on to a cross. The Hagia Sophia also means holy wisdom was created by Emperor Justinian was the most magnificent building. When it was created again because of a riot it added 25 new cathedrals and it was beautifully decorated on the inside. It was plain on the outside though.

The fall of Rome has so many reasons on why it fell. There was no such thing as the Byzantine empire only Roman Empire. Crusaders invaded Western Europe and Constantinople in 1204 B.C. Military and economy problems were factor on why Rome fell. Roads and bridges were destroyed and trade routes were not safe. The rules were weakened and order broke down. Finally the crops were destroyed and farmers did not plant crops.
