		Constantine the Great began his eventful climb in York, England and reached the apex of his achievement in Constantinople, the City that he founded and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city]=Constantinople).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire
		His son, Constantine IV was very young at the time of his accession; still he was not only able to assert his authority in the face of an unruly army, but soon like his father and great grandfather, proved himself a brave warrior and displayed consummate generalship against the Arabs, the Slavs, and the Bulgarians.
		Of her own authority she canceled the betrothal of Constantine VI (780-97) to Rotrud, the daughter of Charlemagne, and forced him to marry Maria, an Armenian, a woman wholly distasteful to him.
		Constantine VII, Porphyrogenitus (913-59), the long wished-for heir, by the fourth marriage of Leo the Wise, inherited the learned tastes of his father, but was not completely deficient in energy.

	Rome and Romania, Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors, etc.
		This episode echoes the attempt of the usurper Constantine in the Fifth Century, though that failed to suppress the Germans in that era and merely served to absorb the attention of Roman forces that could have been better used, in conjunction with those of Constantine himself, against the common enemy.
		The result of the conference was the demotion of Constantine to Caesar (again), the appointment of Lincinius as Augustus, the second retirement of Maximian, and the declaration of Maxentius as an outlaw.
		Since Leo III is considered to have come from either Syria or the nearby Isauria, his concern about this issue is supposed to have resulted from his sensitivity to the effect of Islâmic charges on the previously Christian populations of the areas, like Syria, conquered by Islâm.

	Byzantine Empire (Byzantium) including its cities, kings, religion and wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The derivation from Byzantium is suggestive in that it emphasizes a central aspect of Byzantine civilization: the degree to which the empire's administrative and intellectual life found a focus at Constantinople from 330 to 1453, the year of the city's last and unsuccessful defense under the 11th (or 12th) Constantine.
		Byzantium was a melting-pot society, characterized during its earlier centuries by a degree of social mobility that belies the stereotype, often applied to it, of an immobile, caste-ridden society.
		Constantine's laws in many instances extended or even rendered hereditary these enforced responsibilities, thus laying the foundations for the system of collegia, or hereditary state guilds, that was to be so noteworthy a feature of late-Roman social life.

		Most of the documented examples of individual women’s lives in Byzantium are therefore drawn from the elite of Byzantine society, although extracts from sources such as saints' lives, legal documentation, medical manuals and the rules governing convents also offer fascinating glimpses into the lives of more 'ordinary' women.
		Byzantium's comparatively literate society did ensure that many girls learned to read and write, but more advanced learning opportunities were limited for most women, albeit with some very notable exceptions such as the historian-princess Anna Komnena and the 13th Century scholar Theodora Raoulaina.
		Byzantine attitudes particularly favoured the role of mother: cultural and legal practice maintained primacy for the Byzantine mother as head of the household and protector of her childrens' interests, especially if she had been widowed whilst her children were still young.

	Cascoly - Amazon: Bookstore -- Byzantium - John Julius Norwich
		The distressing lack of imagination shown by Constantine in the naming of his children has caused much confusion among past historians, to say nothing of their readers.
		Most outraged of all were Pope Simplicius in Rome and his successor Felix III, whose anger was still further increased by the appointment to the Patriarchate of Alexandria, with the bless of both Zeno and Acacius, of one Paul the Stammerer, a cleric whose utterances, when comprehensible at all, were violently monophysite in character.
		Sophia, when he was not looking, whereat the Patriarch, discovering it a few moments later, instantly excommunicated him back, thereby not only placing the see of Constantinople on the same hierarchical level as that of Rome but simultaneously confirming and open schism between the two churches that was to last for the next thirty-five years.

		Constantine presided over some 250 bishops assembled at Nicaea for the first of seven ecumennical, or universal, councils that forged the Orthodox faith.
		Their use is restored in 843, under the regency of Theodora, mother of Michael III (842-67), known as Michael the Drunkard.

	Imperator Maximus, part 1
		Constantine VI who succeeds him has relatively little trouble with keeping to the throne and relatively little inclination for more war after the generation of wars his father launched to bring the two parts of the empire under the same throne.
		Constantine cuts back on the size of the imperial armies to about 300,000 troops all over in addition to the navy, down from the nearly twice this size Roman armies had swelled during the war.
		By the time of Constantine's death Monophysitism in the Axumite form and "Gallic" catholicism, both rejecting the 6th and 7th ecumenical synods are openly apart from the official mainstream orthodoxy and while imperial authorities avoid persecution riots between fanatics and monks from all three sides are again a different matter.

	Byzantium!!!
		For this reason, in the present work we will refer to the Byzantine Empire or Byzantium in order not to confuse readers, but it should remain clear throughout that we are speaking of the Roman Empire.
		It is for this reason that the history of Byzantium is the story of the competition between the Byzantine emperors and the Roman Papacy, until the definitive break of 1054.
		I hope that those who read it will realize that the story of Byzantium is as interesting as that of Rome, and that Byzantine civilization was the most advanced of the Middle Ages, at a moment when the West was but a shadow lost in ignorance.
