The
____________________
Empire
has
its
origin
in
the
division
of
the
____________________
Empire
in
____________________
when
____________________
the
Great
died
.
The
____________________
part
of
the
Empire
had
its
capital
in
____________________
,
which
had
been
founded
earlier
in
the
same
century
by
the
emperor
____________________
in
the
site
of
the
former
Greek
colony
of
____________________
.
The
period
of
greatest
____________________
of
the
Byzantines
was
during
the
reign
of
Justinian
I
the
Great
in
the
____________________
century
,
between
____________________
and
____________________
.
This
emperor
had
the
reference
of
the
power
of
the
____________________
Roman
Empire
,
so
among
other
things
he
conquered
____________________
that
once
belonged
to
the
____________________
part
:
____________________
peninsula
,
south
-
____________________
of
the
Iberian
Peninsula
and
north
-
____________________
Africa
.
In
addition
to
that
,
he
codified
Roman
____________________
into
what
is
known
as
the
Codex
____________________
and
he
ordered
to
build
____________________
____________________
,
considered
the
greatest
example
of
Byzantine
____________________
and
one
of
the
most
important
buildings
of
the
Middle
Ages
.
After
Justinian's
death
,
the
Byzantine
Empire
suffered
a
____________________
of
slow
____________________
,
mostly
caused
by
the
appearance
of
____________________
such
as
the
____________________
(
Islamic
Caliphates
)
from
the
____________________
-
east
,
the
____________________
from
the
____________________
and
the
____________________
from
the
east
.
Little
by
little
,
their
territories
were
smaller
until
there
was
only
Constantinople
and
few
other
places
,
which
eventually
____________________
in
the
hand
of
the
____________________
Turks
in
____________________
.
This
event
is
considered
by
many
the
end
of
the
____________________
Ages
and
the
beginning
of
the
____________________
Age
,
since
it
paved
the
way
of
the
geographical
explorations
which
led
to
the
____________________
of
America
by
Christopher
____________________
in

Politically
speaking
,
the
Byzantine
empire
was
based
on
the
concept
of
____________________
,
which
meant
that
the
____________________
power
controlled
the
____________________
power
by
appointing
the
____________________
of
Constantinople
,
head
of
the
____________________
Christian
Church
.
This
religion
appeared
officialy
after
the
Eastern
____________________
in
____________________
,
when
the
separation
from
the
Roman
____________________
Church
was
made
effective
.
