    Great presentation, albeit bearing a fallacy. The Byzantines were not Romans, but predominantly Greek in language and culture. Besides, referring to them as Romans contradicts what you say about the Greek language and thought being taken to the West after the fall of Byzantium.

  7. Panagiotis Bosmis says:

    THAT IS A CORRECT AND OBJECTIVE APPROACH

    • JTwales says:

      The byzantines referred to themselves as Romans. The turks living in the area described themselves as the ‘Rum’ a corruption of Rome.
