(Charles William Chadwick) The Byzantine Empire Third edition "The Byzantine Empire" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the history of the Byzantine Empire, covering its foundation, significant events, and influential figures from its establishment to its decline. It aims to reshape the perception of the Byzantine Empire, challenging earlier views that labeled it as corrupt and stagnant, instead illustrating its rich history and contributions to civilization. The opening of the book presents a comprehensive introduction to Byzantium, recounting the establishment of the city by Greek colonists from Megara. The narrative highlights the strategic location of Byzantium, which was founded near the Bosphorus and quickly transformed into a critical commercial and military hub. Oman discusses how the city thrived through trade and military significance, with a wealth of historical anecdotes, such as its interactions with major powers like Persia and the emergence of the Athenian naval empire. This portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Byzantium's evolution and significance throughout history.
