Mediterranean empire, one that controls the mediterranean sea. Church of san vitale, ravenna one of the imperial capitals of italy which has beautiful artwork and three famous mosaics justinian and facing him on other side of the church is empress theodora. Very badly bombed in ww2 and the is one of the great artistic legacy and it is crazy that it wasn"t bombed because ravenna was heavily bombed. The final act - from roman byzantine: yarmulke, ad 636, and the end of rome"s. Justinian 565 much of this happened after he died. Significant conflict in both the east and in the balkans.
