The '''Byzantine Empire''' was a state that evolved from the Eastern Roman Empire from about 400 AD, almost vanished from the map during the Crusades of the 13th century, and finally stopped to exist on 29. May 1453, when the empire's capital Constantinople was conquered by the Turks.

== In Rise of the Tomb Raider ==
The Byzantine Empire plays a role in the 2015 [[Tomb Raider Series|Tomb Raider Game]] [[Rise of the Tomb Raider]]. It is the birth place of the Undying [[Prophet]] and many of his followers. Their descendants still speak [[Greek]], although they were exiled from the Empire and fled to [[Syria]] and later on to [[Siberia]] where they build the fabled city of [[Kitezh]].

Besides many [[List of Documents in Rise of the Tomb Raider|Documents]] written in Greek, some of them dating back to the Byzantine Empire, [[Lara Croft (Reboot)|Lara Croft]] can find [[Byzantine Coins]] practically everywhere in Syria and Siberia. Greek, the language of the Empire, is one of the [[Language Proficiency]]s Lara can learn.

=== History ===
The Prophet, after finding the [[Divine Source]], went to Constantinople around the year 970. He gathered a following, not only from the common people but also from the nobles, e.g. [[Decius]]<ref>[[The Apostle]] set of documents.</ref>. When the Emperor died in 977<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_emperors#Heraclian_dynasty_.28610.E2.80.93695.29 Wikipedia] Historical fact: In 977 A.D. no Byzantine emperor died. Constantine IV "the Bearded" reigned from 968 to 985.</ref> they where forced to leave the Empire by [[Trinity]] knights that were send by the [[Church in the West]]. During these seven years there are only small hints at the politics of the Empire that can be gathered from [[The Apostle]] documents, e.g that the Emperor did not prosecute the Prophet's followers as did his successor.
