A proposito di questo titolo

 Episode 1 of The Byzantine Empire: Rome That Refused to Die opens with a sensory scene inside Hagia Sophia in 537 AD, as Emperor Justinian I dedicates the newly completed Great Church. Lucas then pulls back to ask: what was the Byzantine Empire, really? It was the Roman Empire, but Greek-speaking, Christian, and centered on Constantinople. Listeners meet Constantine the Great, who refounded Byzantium as Nova Roma in 330 AD; Theodosius I, who made Christianity the state religion; and the fifth-century Theodosian Walls that saved the city from Attila the Hun. The episode explores how the empire synthesized Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Orthodox Christianity—and why it endured for over a thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Future episodes will dive into Justinian's wars, the Nika Riots, the Great Schism, and the empire's long dance with Islam. This pilot sets the stage for a civilization that shaped the medieval world and still echoes in modern politics, religion, and art.
