About this audiobook
The Byzantine Empire has often been overlooked. Yet, this vast empire last for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century.
The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the Romans and the Christian culture. Several centuries A.D. It was marked by conquests, emperors, rules, orthodoxy, and the giant capital of Constantinople (which is now Istanbul). They fought the Huns and many other peoples to maintain their lands and territories.
If you think this is something you’d be interested in, then I invite you to pick up this book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is truly a great book. It's a really good thing when you are able to simply put on your headphones and listen to an audio like this one. This was well worth my time. Finally, a narrated book which gave me what I expected. Another detail: The storyteller seemed so good that I would certainly listen to it in the future. Perhaps even more than one time. I can't remember everything that's being stated in these books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was being mentioned.
