About this series
If you asked someone today when the Roman Empire ended, they might tell you 476 CE, the year that the final Roman Emperor in the west died. If you had asked someone at the time though, they might have told you that Rome was still very much alive—in Constantinople. The Byzantines were not simply persistent Romans: they were their own distinct and long-lived society, both Roman and more.
From Constantine’s founding of Constantinople in 330 CE to the city’s fall in 1453 CE, the city and all that was controlled from it had an impact on the world, well beyond its boundaries. As the second longest-lived empire in the history of the world, one might say that this was inevitable, but it was the leadership it had during the best periods in its history that truly made the difference. A truly captivating period, the history of the Byzantine Empire will give readers stories of order and chaos, glory and catastrophe, Paganism and Christianity.
In this book, you will learn about...
- The Division of East and West
- The Fall of Rome
- Justinian’s Golden Age
- Religious Disputes
- Iconoclasm
- The Reign of Basil the Bulgar-Slayer
- The Final Fall
- And Much More...
The history of the Byzantine Empire tells a tale of monumental victories and equally significant defeats—of a phoenix rising from the ashes over and over again until it simply ran out of miracles. It is also the tale of civilization which impacted and influenced virtually every one of its neighbors well after its fall and whose culture has persisted in some ways to this day.

Discover The Maya History & How They Lived! This book’s coverage begins with the development of the Maya through the ancient eras, starting with their founding in Belize as a hunter-gatherer society in the Pre-Classic Period all the way through the Classic and Post-Classic Period during which they had flourished into the civilization they are known for today. The Maya was composed of several city-states that spanned the area, all with soaring stone architecture structured for its citizens and a network of roads and passages to make trading and travel easier for commerce. Understanding the mystical nature of the Maya religion and their belief in the balance of the universe are keys to understanding how the Maya lived and worshipped. They believed in balance between all individuals and worked hard to always praise the gods who created them with their own godly blood. They believed the gods destroyed previous civilizations before them because those people refused to worship, and the Maya made certain they would not share that same fate. This is clear in their cities, where the temple is the center of most of the plaza city-states. Inside this book, you will find the following: The history of the Maya people and where their civilization began and expanded from How the name “Maya” came to be used for these people The growth of the Maya as they became a booming society during the Classic Period When colonists began to interact with the Maya civilizations in Central America Facts on traditional Maya cultural aspects and way of life such as the meals they ate, the clothes they wore, and their social classes And many more!
