About this listen

If you want to discover captivating stories of people and events of the Byzantine Empire then keep reading....

The Byzantine Empire was founded during the chaotic third century. It was the time when revolts and civil wars were common, and Roman emperors merely lasted for a year. Despite being one of the most captivating historical periods of all time, the Byzantine Empire is a lesser known one, and it's rare to find an exciting resource on the topic.

But that is about to change. In this new captivating history audiobook, you will:

  • Explore a story of power and glory, anarchy and order, paganism and Christianity, war and peace, the West and the East
  • Get familiar with the roots of the greatest controversies that defined the history of Europe and the entirety of Western civilization - the conflict between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and the one between Christianity and Islam
  • Discover stories of remarkable emperors you’ve never heard of and about the astonishing bravery of Graeco-Roman heroes such as Constantine Dragases, who resisted the Ottomans until the end, and Belisarius, who fought the Persians to reconquer what used to be the Western Empire
  • Learn more about the entire era called the Byzantine Empire in less time compared to studying boring textbooks

All this and much more awaits you, so get instant access now by downloading now!

This a nice book about the Byzantine Empire. It is less a straight forward history book than a series of essays on various aspects of Byzantine life. I found it interesting and easy to understand.

The overriding takeaway I have is that, for all of mankind’s so-called progress and diversity on various levels, our fundamental social interactions and striving have not changed all that much since antiquity.

Best book!
