Please introduce the Byzantine dynasty in detail, 3Q.

The Byzantine Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire is the eastern half of the Roman Empire that still exists after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Generally speaking, the Byzantine Empire began in 395 AD and lasted until 1453. During its 1000 years of existence, it was generally referred to as the "Roman Empire". Although the culture and language of Byzantium are mostly Greek, Byzantium regards itself as a Roman, which is not contradictory to the Romans in East Rome. Their language is Greek, and their culture has been Greek for many centuries, but by the 7th century, their official language was Latin. The countries around them (Persian Empire and Arab Empire in the East, European countries in the West and Russia in the North) all call them Romans. If someone calls them "Greeks", it is an insult to them, because "Greeks" means "primitive people". This empire was not called Byzantine Empire until17th century. Since17th century, western historians have introduced the name Byzantine Empire in order to distinguish (actually quite different) the ancient Roman Empire from the medieval Roman Empire. This title comes from the predecessor of its capital Constantinople: the ancient Greek colony Byzantium. The origin of Byzantium The name of Byzantium comes from an ancient Greek immigrant city near the sea. In 330 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine I built a city here as the capital of the Roman Empire and renamed it Constantinople. Constantinople, located in the Bosporus Strait, is a strategic waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, and its geographical position is very advantageous. In 395 AD, the huge Roman Empire was invaded by barbarians from all walks of life. For the convenience of jurisdiction, the empire was divided into two parts. The Eastern Roman Empire took Constantinople as its capital, so it was also called the Byzantine Empire. In 476 AD, after repeated attacks by Xiongnu and many Germanic tribes, the Western Roman Empire finally breathed its last breath, and Byzantium became the only Roman Empire-in fact, they always claimed to be of pure Roman descent. War and Weakness In 527 AD, Byzantium ushered in its first powerful emperor, Justinian I. He immediately appointed Belisariau as a marshal and declared war on his old enemy, the Persian Empire. In 528 AD, the Persian army general Zakisis led 30,000 troops, and the following year he defeated Belisarius with overwhelming strength in Nyabis. In the second year, the two armies fought again in the city of Della in the two river basins. The troops of Belisarian were pitiful ... but the Persian army made a stupid mistake. They are backed by the city array, and the terrible thing is that this is not their own city, so it is natural that the Persian army, which is several times the number of its opponents and well-equipped, was defeated (or strangely) ... and then the Persian army lost again. Then the ambitious Justinian went to war with the Darwan people, and Belizea went to Africa. The poor total number of Byzantine expeditionary cavalry is only 20 thousand even counting horses. What's more, it also includes most barbarian mercenaries, who are rude and undisciplined. Belisarian sailed out to sea through the Peloponnesian Peninsula, stumbled all the way through Sicily, and did not set foot on African land until early September. Not only did he not know whether his opponent's strength was 1000 or 1000, but he didn't even have a detailed map. Fortunately, quite a few locals are willing to be tour guides and earn tips. In mid-September, Belizean finally met the army of Darwan people in Carthage. Some people say that a strong dragon can't crush a local strongman, but Belisarian dares to play a maze at the door of a local strongman. A complicated detour made the Darwan army lose its favorable terrain, dispersed several parts, lost contact, and suffered the same fate as the Persian army. Since then, the Darwan people, who were hollow, have never organized any decent counterattack, and finally surrendered in March 534, and the Kingdom of Darwan perished. Justinian's campaign in Africa enabled the Byzantine Empire to control the vast animal husbandry base in Africa. The powerful monarch was obviously not keen on peace. Justinian quickly resumed the war with Persia, and then the Goths became a thorn in his side! After decades of continuous war, most of the territory of the original Roman Empire has now been incorporated into Byzantium. The territory of the Byzantine Empire has been expanded unprecedentedly after years of war, and Justinian has great potential to restore the glory of Rome. But apart from the crazy expansion of conquered territories, the number of Byzantine troops is obviously far from large enough to control so much land, so those nominally conquered areas are actually very dangerous, and the victory of the empire is actually the prosperity of the central area of the empire with the weakness of the vast conquered land. However, it must be admitted that Justinian the Great was quite successful. He made the Byzantine Empire enter the era of comprehensive legal system, changed the previous tactics that the army mainly advanced by infantry array, and established an unparalleled armored cavalry regiment, which was the main pillar of Byzantine expansion war. Justinian was an extraordinary monarch, a pearl given to the Romans by God-at least for the Romans.
