THE history of the Byzantine Empire under the rule of the Isaurian dynasty is one of the periods in the prolonged evolution of the monarchy least easy of comprehension. The work of the sovereigns usually called the Iconoclast Emperors has been, in fact, recorded for us practically only by opponents or victims, and their impassioned reports have obviously no claim to be considered strictly impartial. On the other hand, the writings defending and justifying the policy of the Emperors have nearly all disappeared in the fierce reaction which followed the defeat of the Iconoclasts, and we are thus but imperfectly acquainted with the real objects which the Isaurian Emperors set before themselves. Further, the true aspect of their rule has been completely obscured and distorted by the hatred and prejudice excited against them. The nature of their religious policy has been, and still is, frequently misconceived. In truth, the controversy as to images was only a part of the great work of political, social, and economic reconstruction undertaken by Leo III and Constantine V on the emergence of the Empire from the serious dangers which it had passed through in the seventh century. It would thus be a misunderstanding of the meaning and scope of this religious strife to consider it apart from the vast aggregate of which it merely forms a portion, just as it would be a wrong estimate of the Isaurian Emperors to find in them mere sectaries and heretics. The striking testimony rendered them by their very detractors at the Council of 787 should not be forgotten by any who undertake to relate their history. While severely condemning the religious policy of a Leo III or a Constantine V, the bishops assembled at Nicaea recall their great deeds, the victories gained over enemies, the subjugation of barbarous nations, and further, the solicitude they showed for their subjects, the wise measures they took, the constitutions they promulgated, their civil institutions, and the improvements effected by them in the cities. Such, the Fathers in Council add, is the true title of the dead Emperors to fame, that which secures to them the gratitude of all their subjects First Bulgarian Empire - Wikipedia The First Bulgarian Empire (Old Bulgarian: ts'rstvo bl'garskoe) was a medieval Bulgarian state that existed in southeastern Lootcoza: Sitemap 9780805991321 0805991328 Both Sides of the Water - Essays on African-Native American Interactions Lonnie Harrington 9781841134918 1841134910 Making the Law Explicit Christianity Britannicacom To say that Christianity focuses on Jesus Christ is to say that somehow it brings together its beliefs and practices and other traditions in reference to a Rome and Romania Roman Emperors - Friesian School A thorough investigation into the Eastern Roman Empire By Kelley L Ross PhD Byzantine Empire - Wikipedia The Byzantine Empire also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages A Bit of History WebSite P Paabtamer (flc700 c650 BC) Egyptian queen consort A member of the XXVth Dynasty (721 656 BC) the identity of her husband remains uncertain
