SYNOPSIS:

The History of Byzantium Podcast by Robin Pierson is one of the best history podcasts out there! We continue the story of the Roman Empire into the troubling time of the Nika Riots and Justinian’s brutal solution. Then we go to the war in North Africa where Belisarius proves he’s more than a match for the Vandal King. Finally we look at the legacy of Justinian with his code of laws and the Hagia Sophia – which have stood the test of time.

  1. Byzantine is a derogatory term given to the Eastern Roman Empire by the Holy Roman Empire in order to call itself the sole legal successor of the Roman Empire.

  2. Man, I am not much into watching videos as I read books, but I just listened to this and it is gold. You have great voice, explain everything so easily, the facts, causes of everything.. and you do great video content with maps too as I see 🙂

  3. Why do you keep calling it Byzantine which is an anachronistic and outdated term. You don't think the Eastern Romans were legitimate? You're some kind of hater or denier of history?

  4. this series was phenomenal to watch
    but the usage of the words like almighty god or one true god made me cringe and hard to watch sometimes
    it would have been better if you add the line like "according to their beleif" before those exetremely religious words
    anyway again great series!!!

  5. Belisarius got cucked by Theodora who was in control lol Justinian, a famous Simp..which really if you didnt mesh and integrate the truth and other sources like Precopius and what things were really like under Justinian and Theodora then this is a boring bare bones and pointless series.

  6. Incredible hagia sofia, ABSOLUTELY LOVE this building, I was lucky enough to have a chance to pray in this when I visited Constantinople last month, I am a Muslim, but my sheikh imran hossein, reminds us how the Quran forbids us to use any places of worship as a mosque, we have to protect and respect our brothers as sisters, we both are waiting for the return of Jesus (peace be upon him) to save us from the Antichrist, the authodox Christians are our closest to us as brothers. ❤️

  7. I am confused by your reference to a historical sequence mentioned in the video. You said that the Monophysites were not yet condemned in the years of Justinian and could be counted as Catholic, but according to my historical account, the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (453 A.D.) condemned the Monophysites with confirmation through Emperor Marcian and Pope St Leo the Great. You may mean the Miaphysites.
