LE Byzantine Armour+Weapons

[WagonMasterGeneral]

The Eastern Roman Empire (330/395 A.D-1453 A.D) (aka the Byzantine or the Roman Empire) was a direct continuation of the Roman Empire in the east. It was predominantly Greek-speaking empire, the last emperor to speak Latin as a first language being Justinian The Great. In 620 AD the Emperor Heraclius changed the official language of the Empire to Greek.

 

Her capital was Constantinople which is modern-day Istanbul, but at the time was Greek with Roman influences (The Turks conquered it in 1453, and settled in Anatolia in the mid and late 11th century.)
