This history of the Byzantine Empire covers the history of the eastern Mediterranean empire from late antiquity until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD. Several events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the transitional period during which the Roman Empire's east and west divided.
Byzantine Art is characterised by religion. Countless images of God, the Holy Family, Jesus and Mary were produced during this period. Symbolism is frequently used â keys to represent the power of the church, chalices to represent holy communion and the forgiveness of sin and of course the cross as the main symbol of Christianity.
