GLORY TO ROMAN-BYZANTIUM from Constantine I to Constantine XI

My Tribute to the Glorious Roman-Byzantine Empire from Constantine I to Constantine XI. I already made a Tribute vid to the Ancient Western Roman Empire & now i figured its time i should do one to the Eastern Roman Empire 'Byzantium'. Its so SAD that in the Western World, the Byzantine part of the Roman Empire is almost forgotten. The Byzantine Empire by itself lasted from 330 AD to 1461 AD thats is 1131 years, but Byzantium was the Eastern Roman Empire which ultimatly makes the Whole Roman Empire lasted from 27 BC to 1461 AD, thats 1488 years all together which is by far the longest lasted Empire ever. Byzantium's Capital Constantinople was 'the Eye of the World' & the jealousy of its enemies, which were many, the center of tradings between the east & west & was rich with culture, commerce, wisdom, architecture, brilliance, beauty & art. The Church of St.Sofia, the Huge Theodosian Walls, the Hippodrome & the Imperial Palace by themselvs explain alot. Sadly to say in Maltese schools they don't teach much about Byzantium, infact i never knew anything about Byzantium as a kid, even tho my country 'Malta' has a big part of its history with Roma & Byzantium & enjoyed the PAX ROMANA under the Romans & Byzantines for centuries, besides the Byzantine-Arab or Byzantine-Vandal battles taken place, they never thought us any of it, But the Byzantine Empire should be more recognised, remembered & glorified for it once was, for a millenium it stood as Europe's front-door Guard from ...

MAXIUMUS Present: Constantine, Algeria

Constantine or Qusantînah (Arabic: قسنطينة ) is the capital of Constantine Province (ولاية قسنطينة) in north-east Algeria, slightly inland, at about 80 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. The city was originally settled by Numidian people, and was known as Sarim Batim. Later its name was Cirta, from the Phoenician word for "city". Constantine was capital city of the Numidia, a berber empire that emerged in the 3rd century BC. The city was founded in 203 BC by king Micipsa, with the help of Greek colonists. She distinguished for the splendour of the public buildings and its population overcame that of all other towns of northern Africa. It had an army of 10000 cavalry and 20000 infantry. In 113 BC the town was conquered by Jugurtha. Later it served as base of the Roman generals Caecilius Metellus Numidicus and Caius Marius. In 107 BC the latter gained a victory over Jugurtha in the nearby of Cirta. With the suppression of king Juba I and the rest of the supporters of Pompey in Africa (46 BC), Julius Caesar gave special civil rights to a part of Cirta, under the name of Sittlanorum Colonia. It became the head of a confederation of four similar settlements in North Africa. In 311, during the civil war between emperor Maxentius and usurper Domitius Alexander (former governor of Africa), the city was destroyed. Rebuilt in 313, it was subsequently named after emperor Constantine the Great, who had defeated Maxentius. Conquered by the Vandals in 432, Constantine returned to ...
