💠A Brief History of Byzantine Athens
*
🏛Athens, which was once a city of great political and cultural importance had lost it by the late Roman era whereas many of its treasures were taken by emperors such as Constantine I and his son Constantius II in the 4th century in order to adorn the new imperial capital Constantinople. However, Athens still remained an important learning center for philosophy and this was where the young Julian studied before he was emperor (361-363). Although due to Athens' academy teaching Pagan philosophy, it was shut down by Emperor Justinian I in 529 as part of his policy in banning Pagan teachings. Because the academy shut down, Athens lost its significance thus turning into a sleepy provincial town wherein its economy depended on agriculture. Because Athens was ignored as well, the Slavs sacked it in 582, though in 662 it was at least visited by Emperor Constans II who made it part of the new Theme of Hellas based in Thebes.
*
📖By the 8th century, Athens once more became an intellectual center, though for religious purposes as it too was a safe haven for Iconophiles escaping the persecution of the Iconoclast emperors. At around this time the Parthenon which was once the Temple of Athena became a church and so did many former Pagan temples in the city. The Byzantine empress being Irene Sarantapechaina who ruled the empire alone (797-802) hailed from here as well. From the 9th to 12th centuries, Byzantine Athens was actually a flourishing artistic center but also a center of trade in the Aegean while it was also known for producing soaps and dyes.
*
⚔️This prosperity however did not last as in 1204 when the Latin Crusaders captured Constantinople, a division of them being the Burgundians captured Athens establishing the Duchy of Athens, one of the Latin states in Greece. In 1311, control over Athens fell to rogue Catalan mercenaries (Almogavars) once employed by Byzantium. Therefore from 1204 onwards, Athens remained under Latin rule- never returning to Byzantine hands- until its fall to the Ottoman Empire in 1458.

💠The Church of the Holy Apostles, Constantinople- The Imperial Cemetery- An Overview and Quick History
*
⚰Have you ever wondered where Byzantine emperors were buried in? For those who don't know- as many might already do- this is the Church of the Holy Apostles. It was established when Constantinople was founded in 330 by Emperor Constantine I the Great, and following his death in 337 he was buried here too. It was also intended to house the relics of all 12 apostles, but it only had up to 3. The more famous version of this church was built by Emperor Justinian I the Great in the 6th century and this new form was a more impressive one being a cross in shape with 5 domes, one at the center and 4 at the wings. Although known for being the burial site of the emperors, it was also the second most important church in Constantinople second only to the Hagia Sophia.
*
🏚The Holy Apostles held the tombs of Byzantine emperors and their families until 1056 as following that, the church had no more space to house more sarcophagi. In 1204, it was looted by the army of the 4th Crusade and following that the church just decayed that by the 15th century it had fallen apart. In 1462, the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II after his conquest of Constantinople demolished the church and built over it the Fatih Mosque which is what it is today. However, 6 porphyry tombs of Byzantine emperors that were once here survive and are found at the Hagia Eirene and the Archaeological Museum. On the other hand, since we do not know exactly what the Byzantine era Holy Apostles looked like, 3 churches one being San Marco in Venice and the others in Padua, Italy and Perigeux, France which were inspired by it can give us a more or less clear image of what the 6th century version of the Holy Apostles looked like.

💠Trivia- The Office of Consul in the Byzantine Empire
*
🏛As the Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire, a lot of Ancient Roman institutions continued to exist as the Roman capital moved east to Constantinople in 330 under Emperor Constantine I the Great. Part of these institutions that survived in Byzantium was the Roman Senate, as well as some positions in it like that of "Consul" which was a centuries old rank since the days of the early Roman Republic.
*
📃The Consul was the most powerful position in the Ancient Roman Republic- with 2 elected ones per year- until 27BC when the republic became the empire under Augustus Caesar. With the emperor now as the head of state, the office of consul still continued to exist although with less authority. Over the centuries, the role of the consul had been diminished despite the office still remaining in place. By the time the Roman capital was moved to Constantinople, the role of consul was primarily ceremonial wherein they were there to simply open chariot races in the Hippodrome or lead military parades. Like in Ancient Rome, Byzantine consuls were also elected every year, and sometimes there were one or two per year. Those who served as consul in early Byzantine history could be a successful general of the moment or the Magister Militum (Master of Soldiers), an influential politician or eunuch, a rich aristocrat, or even the emperor himself as well as his son who may still be a child, so long as they were male. Notable Byzantine consuls included Justinian I the Great himself in 521 before he was emperor and foreign rulers too such as the Ostrogoth Theodoric the Amal (r. 475-526) and Clovis I of the Franks (r. 481-511) who were honorary consuls. The last Byzantine emperor to hold the title of consul was Constans II in 642, while the position was fully abolished during the reign of Leo VI (886-912).
*
⚱Despite the role of consul in Byzantium being quite powerless, we know a lot about it today mainly because many ornaments commemorating consuls still exist known as "Consular Diptychs". These were usually mad ivory while some even depict the consul in their full ceremonial attire like the ones here.

💠The Vandalic War- Conclusion, 533-534
*
💰The Vandalic War of Byzantine emperor Justinian I the Great from 533-534 gives a perfect example of how powerful the Byzantine army was in the 6th century that it was able to conquer an entire kingdom being the Vandal Kingdom of North Africa that was still fairly powerful in the course of just a year! If you remember from last time, I discussed the victory of the Byzantine general Belisarius over the Vandal army of their king Gelimer at the Battle of Ad Decimum in 533. Following Belisarius' victory he proceeded to Carthage, the Vandal capital, and although Belisarius' men did not pillage Carthage and other Vandal cities to be seen as "liberators", they however took a lot of gold and treasures including the menorah from the Jewish temple which the Vandals looted from the Romans in the past. On the other hand, it was too late for Belisarius to save the former Vandal king Hilderic who was an ally of Justinian as he had already been killed in prison by his cousin Gelimer's orders.
*
⚔Gelimer however was still around and thus he regrouped his men including his brother Tzazo who had just returned from Vandal Sardinia crushing a Byzantine sponsored rebellion, and thus together they made an attempt to recapture Carthage from the Byzantines. Belisarius however charged out of Carthage with his army in December of 533 meeting with the forces of Gelimer at the Battle of Tricamarum 20 miles outside Carthage, where once again Belisarius won a decisive victory wherein Tzazo was killed. Gelimer however fled once more but seeing no hope left to restore his kingdom, he surrendered to the Byzantines in early 534 thus ending the Vandalic war. Gelimer was then brought to Constantinople where he was paraded in Belisarius' triumphal march and forced to bow down before the emperor Justinian I, although Gelimer was spared and allowed to retire to an estate in Asia Minor.
*
🎖After just less than a year of war, the entire Vandal Kingdom (including North Africa, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands) was annexed into the Byzantine Empire. The gold and treasures taken back would then be used mostly to fund the Hagia Sophia's construction.

💠On this Day- The Battle of Ad Decimum, the Vandalic War, 533
*
📖On this day (September 13) happened one of Byzantium's greatest military victories scored by the general Belisarius in 533 in the conquest of the Vandal Kingdom of North Africa. The whole story of this war began in 530 when the Vandal king Hilderic was overthrown and imprisoned by his cousin Gelimer, however the Byzantine emperor Justinian I who was an ally of Hilderic declared war on the Vandals using Hilderic's deposition as an excuse to achieve his goal of taking North Africa back for the Roman Empire. In June of 533, Justinian sent his best general Flavius Belisarius with an army of about 16k to invade Vandal North Africa by sea coming directly from Constantinople. Belisarius though decided that it would be best not to land at the Vandal capital Carthage but somewhere nearby in order to surprise the Vandals.
*
⚔️The Vandal king Gelimer who had a much larger army though had already come up with a strategy to trap Belisarius and his Byzantine army at a place known as "Ad Decimum"- which as its name suggests was 10 miles away from Carthage- by surrounding them with 3 divisions of his army. Belisarius however with his brilliant thinking outwitted Gelimer and the Vandals by sending a division of his army consisting of his ruthless Hun mercenaries led by John the Armenian to scout the area, and this division succeeded in obliterating the Vandal division wherein they killed its commander being Gelimer's brother Ammatas. Gelimer then charged at the Byzantines at the salt flats thinking his plan worked but when seeing his brother and fellow Vandals slain, he lost focus thus giving Belisarius the right opportunity to strike at them. At the end of the day, Belisarius with his army especially his Hun cavalry destroyed and routed the Vandals causing Gelimer to flee as well. Shortly after, Belisarius entered Carthage but did not sack it as he wanted to be seen as a liberator not a foreign conqueror, especially since this was a Roman reconquest. The victorious Belisarius then feasted in Carthage using the feast Gelimer planned for his predicted "victory".

💠The Battle of Adrianople, 378- Migration Crisis to Full-Scale War
*
⚔️On this day (August 9) in 378, the catastrophic Battle of Adrianople took place between Romans (Eastern and Western) and Goths ending with 2/3 of the Roman army destroyed, the Eastern Roman emperor Valens killed, and the invading Goths now free to pillage Roman Thrace. For the occasion of the anniversary of this well-known battle that set the stage for the fall of Rome (Western Rome at least), I prepared a visual presentation with 9 slides briefly discussing step-by-step the events that led to Adrianople, the battle itself, and its aftermath. Swipe right ➡️ to get to know the story about the Gothic War of 376-382 and the Battle of Adrianople!
*
🏕The whole story of this crisis begins in 376 when the Goths from across the Danube cross into the Roman Empire as refugees fleeing from the expanding and terrifying Huns. The large number of Goths spilling into Roman territory however becomes too difficult for Roman authorities to handle thus leading the Gothic migrants to rebel eventually leading to war with the Romans which goes on for 2 more years. The Eastern Roman emperor Valens in order to prove his capability and gain popularity thus decides to deal with the Gothic threat once and for all and so he marches to the Balkans. Valens however being impatient for victory rushes into battle before reinforcements from the Western empire led by his nephew and co-emperor Gratian arrives.
*
☀️At the end, Valens had turned out to make the fatal mistake of marching his army under the hot summer sun. The end result was a disaster for the Roman army being overwhelmed by the Goths while Valens himself slain and his body never found. The Goths then pillaged Thrace for months even unsuccessfully attacking Constantinople. The crisis is only solved as Theodosius I becomes Eastern Roman emperor in 379 as he campaigns for 3 more years against the Goths, eventually defeating them and turning them into allied troops to serve Rome.
*
❓If you agree with me, was this battle really the beginning of the end for at least Western Rome?? (forgive the typo on slide 3 as well 😅!)

💠The Sack of Rome, 472- On this day
*
📖When you read about 5th century Roman history, you would recall that Rome was sacked twice, first by Alaric and his Visigoths in 410 and by the Vandals under Genseric in 455. However, many of you wouldn't know that there was a 3rd sack of Rome in the 5th century taking place in 472 which happened on this day (July 11). The story of this incident goes back to the rise to power of the Constantinople born Greek Procopius Anthemius- grandson of Constantinople's walls' architect- as Western Roman emperor in 467. With no emperor in the west, the Eastern Roman emperor Leo I appointed Anthemius as the western emperor. However, in the west the emperor did not really hold power, instead power lay in the hands of the Germanic Magister Militum Ricimer. When ruling the west, Anthemius was expected to be Ricimer's puppet, but Anthemius had his own ambitions to restore lands in Gaul that had just fallen to barbarian powers back to the empire. Eventually, tensions between Anthemius and Ricimer grew more severe when Anthemius executed a senator who supported Ricimer for plotting against Anthemius. This then led to a civil war to break out between both their forces.
*
⚔️In 472, Anthemius held himself in Rome as Ricimer with his army mostly consisting of barbarian Foederati including Odoacer and the Burgundian Gundobad laid siege to Rome. At the same time, the Vandal king Genseric wanted Anthemius out of power too and thus his friend the Western Roman Olybrius was sent to Rome to negotiate. Ricimer and his forces however gained the upper hand, defeated a reinforcement army that came for Anthemius outside Rome, and managed to capture the Trastevere district thus cutting access of the main city to the Tiber River. After 5 months of siege, the city's defense fell due to starvation thus Ricimer and his forces stormed in. Anthemius fled to either St. Peter's Basilica or the church of Sta. Maria in Trastevere, and when found he was executed by being beheaded, on this day July 11. This sack of Rome in 472 now is considered to be the worst one in the 5th century as it furthermore damaged what was already damaged in the past 2 sackings.

💠The Great Conspiracy of Britain, 367-368
*
📝 This post may be a bit off topic from my usual posts, but at least there is still a Byzantine angle here as this is about late Roman Britain in the 4th century by the time Constantinople already became the Roman capital.
*
🔥Now, so many miles away from Constantinople, over in Britain, in the 360s Roman military presence had deteriorated over the years as a result of a devastating civil war a decade earlier. This then led to a shortage of troops to defend the northern frontier of Britain- Hadrian's Wall- and in this case, a number of rebellious Roman troops stationed in Hadrian's Wall in 367 rebelled and allowed the Picts from the north to enter. Simultaneously, the Hibernians from across the sea to the west (Ireland) as well as Saxons and Franks from across the sea in the east (Germania) landed on the British coasts, therefore making it a coordinated attack done with Roman traitors in Britain, hence its name "Great Conspiracy", with the purpose to possibly give up Britain. The raids then went on for months involving murder, enslavement, and looting especially in Northern and Western Britain.
*
⚔️By this time, the Western Roman emperor Valentinian I (r. 364-375) was busy campaigning against the Alemanni in the Rhine, thus he was not able to personally go to Britain. Instead he sent 2 generals to deal with the problem, however both generals were not able to fulfill the task leaving to Valentinian having to appoint his best general, the Roman-Spanish Theodosius the Elder to do it. Theodosius together with his son- who would be the future emperor Theodosius I- set off for Britain in 368 and as the historian of this time Ammianus Marcellinus said, in one swift campaign the entire island was taken back. At the end, the barbarian raiders were forced to return home, the Roman conspirators were uncovered and executed, and the looted wealth returned to its owners. The northern part of Britain too was renamed "Valentia" after the emperor and Theodosius the Elder came home a war hero but his success would not last as in 375 he would be executed for treason. Roman rule in Britain too would not last long ending in 410.

💠House Komnenos: A Byzantine Epic- The Climax Scene
*
🚨SPOILER ALERT!!🚨
Watch the film first (in the link in my bio) before watching this, and please subscribe to my channel No Budget Films! This now will be the last scene from my Lego epic film that I will be posting, and this is its highly suspenseful climax. In this scene which takes place in the year 1187, the Byzantine emperor Alexios II Komnenos has arranged the most spectacular of events by inviting the pope Urban III and the Doge of Venice Orio Mastropiero to Constantinople in order to conclude peace with Venice. Since the reign of Alexios' father Manuel I Komnenos (1143-1180), the Byzantines and Republic of Venice have been enemies, but here Alexios II decides to undo what his father did and resume peace with Venice, which was once Byzantium's greatest trading partner. Now as Pope Urban III mediates peace between the two rulers Alexios II and Doge Mastropiero in the Hagia Sophia, Alexios II had already secretly planned the elimination of all his enemies including his exiled uncle Andronikos who makes a comeback, the rebel leader of Bulgaria Asen, and the rebel general Alexios Branas who had now reached the Walls of Constantinople which will all take place as the emperor and doge make their vows.
*
📖Take note too, this scene is highly fantasized as truly nothing here happened in real history especially for the pope himself to come to the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Alexios II too was true enough already dead by 1187 and in reality Isaac II Angelos was Byzantine emperor, but again this film is a work of alternate history! The only thing that actually happened in realiity here was the death of Alexios Branas in 1187 too in which he died exactly how he did in this film. The scene is patterned after the climax of the first "Godfather" film and here Alexios II and the Doge of Venice take their sacred vows simultaneously as Alexios has his all his enemies eliminated empire-wide.
