Summary = <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 105%;">While researching the Byzantine Empire, I have learned about the emperors, religion, their art and culture, the size of the empire, and the conquering of the empire. I was very interested in the different rulers they had. The earliest ruler was Constantine I (323-337), and the latest emperor was Constantine XI (1448-53). The other subject that I wanted to research and I can relate to was Byzantine's most dominant religion. Christianity was very important to them. Christiantiy also influenced their art. I wanted to know what kind of art and creativity they focused on the most. They were very skilled artists and architects. They also enjoyed music. I was wondering how big the empire was and what parts of continents it expanded to. It turns out, the empire stretched out on some parts of southern and eastern Europe, northern Africa, and the middle east. The final thing that I wanted to know the most was who conquered the Byzantine Empire, when they did it, and if they changed it? The Turks conqured in 1453 and renamed it Istambul. I think the Byzantine Empire was a lot like Rome for these reasons. I think they were very successful.
