Lost to The West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire that Rescued Western Civilization
- Synopsis
-
Creator of the "12 Byzantine Rulers" podcast, historian Brownworth continues his interest in how an eastern version of the Roman Empire survived for nearly a thousand years after the fall of The Eternal City herself. He depicts Byzantium as a beacon of civilization holding out against barbarian hordes from all directions. His history passes through such stages as Constantine and the church ascendant, barbarians and Christians, the fall of Rome, of buildings and generals, the image breakers, the glorious House of Macedon, Basil the Bulgar Slayer, the Comneni recovery, swords that drip with Christian blood, the brilliant sunset, and the eternal emperor.
