@caitlinrgreen not really my area but in my mind Byzantium is the 'roman' empire. It just had a move of capital city. -
@thegn69 Exactly---they certainly thought of themselves as Romans throughout the medieval period. -
@caitlinrgreen then who are we to argue with them?! :p -
@thegn69 well, I suspect some historians would say that medieval Byzantine empire very diff to Roman. But, they kept name & think more >> -
@thegn69 >> continuity than sometimes allowed, eg colonnaded streets into 13thC...May post more on this, not my specialism, but interesting!
