<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2275781, member: 74222&quot;]That is a popular misconception my friend, and it is based on outdated works from around 1700’s where approach to history or humanistic studies were not what it is today. Just because it struck as a popular misconception onwards doesn’t mean it is fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Abraham Lincoln was not a radical abolitionist and did not free the slaves. Vikings did not have horns onto their helmets as no primary sources mention it nor does archeological evidence support such a view. People in Middle Ages did not believe that the earth was flat as they already knew it was spherical. And Byzantine Empire was certainly not specifically more intrigues than other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sulla and Marius have their intrigues, so did Julius Caser as he was stabbed. Octavian fought Marcus Antonio. And when Octavian turned into Augustus and the era of Roman Empire started it was not an end of intrigues as countless intrigues, killings, poisons, fratricide, perverted sexual approach followed in the first and second centuries. The Chinese, Japanese, Spaniards, Inca, Arabs, Tuks, Vikings, Britons, renaissance Italy all basically have intrigues as well just as much or little as Byzantine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that the Roman Empire that ruled from Constantinople after all survived for not only 100 years, or 400 years, or 600 years but for over 1100 years. It was Europe&#039;s and Eurasia’s most stable state throughout Middle Ages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
