<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 4293501, member: 95174&quot;]Great write up. Your right about most people not knowing about it but that was by design, the loss of the Empire to the Turks was a huge mark on the history of Christianity, the name change from Roman Empire to Byzantine empire was to hide the history of that loss. If you spoke to a person who lived in the empire they would have called themselves Romani. The empire was the 1000 year evolution of the Roman Empire, same basis of laws and traditions and the emperor still wore the purple. </p><p>I have been lucky to visit Istanbul several times now, amazing city to this day. A wonderful mix of Asia and Europe.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1092932[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1092933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092935[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
