How did the Eastern Romans try to Retake their former Empire?

How did the Eastern Romans try to Retake their former Empire?
While the Western portion was on a rapid decline during the 4th and early 5th centuries, the East was doing alright. Thus, when the Western Roman Empire completely collapsed before the start of the 6th century, a burning question quickly arose: would the Byzantines attempt to reclaim the fallen half of the once-united empire? At first, no, but the succession of Justinian I to the throne in Byzantium would suddenly change that answer…

    I wonder what would have happened if Justinian was just slightly more patient. After having taken north Africa, Sicily, corsica, and Sardinia, invest in them, build them up, re-romanize them. Except for the Adriatic sea this would given them complete control of the Mediterranean Sea. After that, the southern boot of Italy would be ripe for naval troop landing pincer movements.

    @@joshuascafidi3851 Justinian's Wars of Reconquest didn't happen just cause he was gun-hoe to reconquer the West. He used very clever moves to begin them. For instance, the Vandals deposed Hilderic, a Pro-Roman King (who was the Grandson of Valentinian III) & once the Vandal's refused to restore him, he sent Belisarius to deal with them & many expected him & his Army to suffer the same fate as the men in the 468 expedition Italy was the same, the Goths hated the Pro-Roman Queen Amalasuntha & murdered her, prompting Justinian to attack there & in all honestly the Reconquest of Italy was going INCREDIBLY smooth until Belisarius's officers began to disobey his orders which caused the Sack of Mediolanum in 539 & for the War in Italy to slowly become a slugfest, causing Belisarius to become enraged when he heard about the treaty that Justinian & the Senate gave to the Goths, when he nearly had the Goths beaten, causing lots of effects. The attack on Spain was due to opportunity as well, a Visigothic Civil War helped the Romans regain most of the former province of Baetica The plague & the Persians breaking their peace with the Romans is what mainly caused alot of setbacks.

    Belisarius should have accepted the Goth's offer of being Western Emperor. While his loyalty to Justinian was extremely noble, Empress Theodora really put in the Emperor's mind that his loyal subject would betray him even before the offer. After the tragic events in Milan you could clearly see Justinian's gamble to retake Italy really condemned the Eastern provinces to the Sassanid Empire. Never leave a porus border for your greatest rival to exploit & to take your best economic mint - Antioch Justinian in my opinion should have been called "The Controversial" given how much people have debated his flawed legacy as of recent videos like Epic History TV covering Belisarius's campaigns

The story called the Emperor "Lucius", but it could've easily been Justinian--Arthur and Co essentially telling him to back off and stay out of Britain, Or Else.

The movie depicts his relationship with Theodora in a pretty similar way to the tragic marriage of Emperor Claudius and Messalina, as Justinian appears a man sickly obsessed with building christian temples in order to honor Christ while Theodora is portrayed as a pagan nymphonaniac who has s*x with every man she considers worthy of her beauty

    I thought it was well-known. We don't need a random “Roderick” to tell us what was what. Greek people never left their place within Greece in the last 6000 years as far back as we know from the first-Greeks, the Mycenaean Mainlanders and Minoan Islanders which essentially the mixing of the two, gave us the Greeks. I leave aside the places we settled outside the Greek mainland, like Crimea, Bactria, Alexandria, and even Corsica after the fall of Constantinople. The fact we as Greeks kept calling ourselves “Romans” as recently as early 19th Century was simply an incorrect name only and nothing more. Once we recovered from the darkness, obscurantism the Ottomans plunged the area in, we recovered in all aspects for good. We re-adopted our rightful heritage with the help of our remarkable Scholars in 20th Century who became as big Heroes as some of our best Strategists, Hegemons, Politicians, Philosophers, Scientists, and Fighters in earlier times.

    small forgotten detail, the Romans (the real ones) allied themselves with both the Goths and the Longobards later, against the Byzantines, since the Byzantine Greeks had no real intention of restoring a Roman empire, but of making Italy a province, something that never was for the Romans, since Italy was always a PATRIAE, never a province.

    Justinian THE GREAT was simply UNmatched. He WAS the Byzantine Empire - at its apex. He not only extended it but completely reformed and restructured Constantinople from within after successfully putting down a slew of deadly riots. Then he went on to rebuild the Hagia Sofia. The depletion of much of his resources and manpower was beyond his control due to an unprecedented plague. He was simply the best.

You could probably make an arguement whether Justinian II was a native latin speaker since he was born in Illyria which at the time had alot of latin speaking romans living there.

    Over a period of decades, changing weather patterns and poor harvests weakened the Western Roman empire more than anything else. Throw in poor leadership, costly and often unnecessary expenses draining the treasury (such as the occupation of what is now Britain, which was never profitable) and changes in Roman society itself (upbringing, religion, population decline). These all resulted in the inability of Rome to keep the Western empire together.

    Love the channel, but the Vandals weren't entirely blindsided. One of the reasons why they lost so quickly was because the majority of the Vandal forces were in Sardinia, putting down a byzantine-funded revolt. Also, I know many historians call the Eastern Roman Empire - Byzantine Empire, but that is incorrect. That was done to delegitimize the Eastern Roman Empire as the true successors of the Rome Empire. Also, Belisarius gave John specific orders not to take Ariminum but did so anyway. Belisarius found out and sent his famed Bucellarii to tell John to abandon the city but instead of doing so, he took them and added them to the garrison instead. Enraged by John's continued insubordination, Belisarius wanted to leave John to his fate, but with Narses persuasion, he thought, why should good soldiers die? Also, he could rub it into John's face. Fun fact: John never thanked Belisarius for saving his life. He thanked Narses instead. This led to a considerable delay in the campaign as John continued to never listen to Belisarius and only to Narses. Fun fact: The reason Belisarius's men sacked Neapolis so severely was not that they were told to but because many of the soldiers under Belisarius's command during the siege were mostly mercenaries and foederati and wanted to let out some stress. The more disciplined soldier had been sent to other places at that time. Fun fact: Many historians have debated the idea that Narses might have been sent by Justinian to join Belisarius on his gothic campaign to undermine in an attempt to peg Belisarius down a notch.

    @@vandare6913 Identity The Byzantine ruling elite faced the outside world and its unending dangers with a strategic advantage that was neither diplomatic nor military but instead psychological: the powerful moral reassurance of a triple identity that was more intensely Christian than most modern minds can easily imagine, and specifically Chalcedonian in doctrine: Hellenic in its culture, joyously possessing pagan Homer, agnostic Thucydides, and ir reverent poets-though Hellene was a word long avoided, for it meant pagan; and proudly Roman as the Romaioi, the living Romans, not without justification for Roman institutions long endured, at least symbolically. But until the Muslim conquest took away the Levant and Egypt from the empire, this triple identity was also a source of local disaffection from the ruling Constantinopolitan elite, for of the three only the Roman identity was universally accepted. To begin with, the speakers of Western Aramaic and Coptic, who accounted for most of the population of Syria and Egypt, including the Jews in their land and beyond it, did not partake in the Hellenic cul ture-except for their own secular elites, which were organically part of the Byzantine regime and were indeed often attacked by nativists as "Hellenizers." For the rest, the masses either did not know that Homer ever lived, or were easily led by unlettered fanatical priests to vehe mently hate what they were too ignorant to enjoy. Moreover, the zone that rejected Hellenism, as it had rejected the Roman habit of bathing as too sensual, also rejected the excessively intel lectual Chalcedonian definition of the dual nature of Christ, both human and divine, insisting on the more purely monotheistic conception of the single, divine nature of Christ. Luttwak, E., 2011. Grand strategy of the byzantine empire. Cambridge: Belknap Harvard, p.410 In about 1440 John Argyropoulos wrote of the struggle for the freedom of ' Hellas ' in a letter addressed to John VIII as 'Emperor of Hellas'. We have come a long way from the days when the ambassador Liudprand of Cremona was thought unfit to be received at the Court because his credentials were addressed to the 'Emperor of the Greeks'. But 'Graeci' was never an acceptable term. George Scholarius, the future Patriarch Gennadius, who was to be the link between the old Byzantine world and the world of the Turcocratia, often uses 'Hellene' to mean anyone of Greek blood. But he had doubts about its propriety; he still retained the older view. When he was asked his specific opinion about his race, he wrote in reply: "Though I am a Hellene by birth, yet I would never say that I was a Hellene. For I do not believe as the Hellenes believed. I should like to take my name from my faith and, if anyone asked me what I am, to reply "a Christian". Though my father dwelt in Thessaly,' he adds, 'I do not call myself a Thessalian, but a Byzantine. For I am of Byzantium.' It is to be remarked that though he repudiates the name of Hellene he calls the Imperial City not New Rome or Constantinople, but by its old Hellenic name. Runciman, S. (1970). IMPERIAL DECLINE AND HELLENIC REVIVAL. In The Last Byzantine Renaissance (The Wiles Lectures, pp. 1-23). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. In contradistinction to a Julian, an Alexander Severus, a Marcus Aurelius and even a Hadrian, who felt themselves more Greek than Latin, Justinian wished to be a Latin Roman Emperor. He was confirmed in these feelings by his horror of Hellen ism. A Roman Emperor, Justinian was also a Christian Emperor. He considered himself the pillar of the Christian orthodox faith. The Hellenic spirit is profoundly pagan and Justinian abominated it. For him, as for his contem poraries and successors, Hellene was synonymous with pagan and to call anyone by this term was to insult him. The Greek peoples themselves assumed the name Pauaio (Romans). Even to-day Romios is still used by the common people. Hellene is an artificial term revived in the nineteenth century. The capital of the Empire is called Roum by the Arab and Turkish peoples of Asia. Lot, F., 2013. End of the Ancient World. Routledge. Many diverse peoples and languages coexisted within the Byzantine empire (Laiou and Maguire (eds.) 1992), and although Greek was the language of government and high culture and the terms 'Hellene' and even 'Greek' were sometimes applied to themselves by educated members of the elite in Constantinople from the Comnenian period onwards (Stouraitis 2014), Byzantium was not a Greek empire and Greek was never the only language spoken. Nevertheless the Byzantines' sense of themselves rested on a shared mythology of universalism and superiority. Linehan, P., Nelson, J. and Costambeys, M., n.d. The medieval world. Characteristics of the Byzantine Empire After its capital was established in the east, the empire became, in scholarly parlance, the Eastern Roman Empire. Furthermore, because Constantine and all of his successors (except Julian the Apostate, 361 63) were Christians, the empire from here on can also be called the Christian Roman Empire. As a consequence of these two changes the Roman Empire had become the Byzantine. However, though used by scholars, none of these three names was used at the time. Though the empire had its center in a Greek cultural and linguistic area, as a result of which there followed a gradual hellenization of its institutions and culture, the emperors recognized no change. The empire remained the Roman Empire and the citizens (even though Greeks came to domi nate it) still called themselves Romans. The term Hellene (Greek) connoted a pagan. The term Byzantine was an invention of Renais sance scholars after the fall of the Byzantine Empire and was never used by its contemporaries. By the middle of the seventh century Greek had become the official language of all spheres of government and the army; nevertheless the empire remained "Roman" and despite divisions of its territory at times it was always seen as a single unit. Essentially the Byzantine Empire was a combination of three major cultural components: (1) Roman in political concepts, administration. law, and military organization. (2) Greek in language and culture, and (3) Christian in religion. Fine, J., 1991. The early medieval Balkans. Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, p.16.

They are psychologically traumatized that they mostly descend from Byzantine Greek ancestors so try hard to deny that byzantines were Greeks or that Greeks exist at all. Turks ideology is “Turkish Nationalism” which is heavily anti-Greek, demeans Greeks as a lower people, while subsequently romanticizing their own pure Turkish descent and bloodline which they believe originates back in Central Asia. So finding out that they are themselves mostly Greek really gives the ardent Turkish nationalists a complex.

    @@ItalMiser117 first of all Orthodox Christianity is the first one to emerged under east Romans not west... And also ancient architecture, alphabet are first emerged in East Europe then west Europe spread it towards west Europe. The reason is because east Europe like Greece is closed to the middle east were many invented beguns like sculpture from Messopotamians, alphabet from Phoenicians etc... The Greeks adopted it and they spread through European especially west Europe

    @@skylinelover9276 Exactly. That's why eastern orthodoxy is roman as catholicism. The term "roman catholic" and "greek orthodox" are wrong. Both should be called roman. The bishop of constantinople even has ROME in his. name. I'm pretty sure that byzantine architecture is roman as well. Not one greek building (except some "building" from 1500bc like a hill) had rotundas or domes. That was a roman invention. After some time, romans used domes very frequently for their churches and buildings. Of course roman architecture was influenced by greek architecture as well but not domes (hagia sophia, san vitale in ravenna).

    The Eastern Roman empire was the Roman empire itself not a continuation not a successor. Justinian, Heraclius, and Basil were as Roman as Trajan, Hadrian, and Constantine

    "But the Byzantines did not understand this as a transfer of the capital; they conceived it as the transfer of the imperial rule, of basileia, to their city, to their land, thus ACTUALLY CREATING A NEW STATE. First and foremost, they considered themselves as descendants of Constantine the Great and not of Alexander the Great, David or Augustus." Malatras, C. (2009) ‘The perception of the Roman heritage in 12th century Byzantium’ Rosetta 7.5: 1-8

    There was no “Byzantine Empire”. What happened in the 5th century was the collapsed of the western half of the empire. The eastern half of the Roman Empire ruled from Constantinople continued to flourished for another 1,000 years.
