    Thank you all!

     

    Most of the links are from:

    I thought it was important to have them here as well.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I wonder what you will think about this :-)

  8. The Byzantine Empire's Most Serious Loss

    in Postilla Historia Romanorum

    Posted · Edited by palimpsest

    For me the most important asset of Byzantium was its religious/cultural authority over the Christian world. This was lost in stages. And two of the most important ones are:

     

    1. the iconoslast controversy [when Rome found itself more "orthodox" than Byantium, and realized it can "stand on its own"]

     

    2. The Latin occupation of Constantinople and the transfer of relics to the West [the religious-self-confidence in the lasting of Byzantium was shaken; after this moment the "West" didn't "need" Byzantium anymore and a mutual hate was put in place, to the detriment of Christianity in general] -after this Byzantium became from the most important world power only a "local" one.

     

    This is why I voted for the Latin occupation.

  11. 21st International Congress Of Byzantine Studies

    in Postilla Historia Romanorum

    Posted

    Ah dear, i wish they'd hold one of these things in Australia! I suppose it's how much interest is expressed in an area that determines where they're held. I'd thoroughly enjoy going to that, but it isn't exactly easy for me to get there at the moment :)

    I'll just stick to this site - it's the best thing so far i've found for Byzantine discussion, and i don't have to fly to London to participate :P

    Thank you for supplying this information palimpset, although perhaps these would be more appropriate in upcoming events forums.

     

     

    I will gladly post this on upcoming events forums. Please let me know where!

     

    I am thinking of going to this congress myself. Hope to see some of you guys there!
