课程名称：拜占庭帝国 课程概述：该课程旨在解释拜占庭帝国的性质和历史，通过图像以及口头叙述和事件解释来进行讲解。从公元330年到1453年，君士坦丁堡（现代伊斯坦布尔）是罗马帝国的首都，也被称为后罗马帝国、东罗马帝国、中世纪罗马帝国或拜占庭帝国。在大部分时间里，它是基督教世界中最大和最富裕的城市。作为中央首都的领土享有比其他基督教领土更好的生命、自由和财产保护，以及更高的生活标准，通常与邻近的伊斯兰帝国相比较也显得更为优越。拜占庭帝国是后罗马国家与基督教教会的独特融合。经历了早期将其视为具有新信仰和新首都的罗马帝国后，拉丁语仍是法律和行政的语言，之后它逐渐转变为一个希腊东正教国家，与西方的中世纪基督教和伊斯兰王国截然不同。其千年存在的韧性体现在其生存经历气候灾难、传染病、人口崩溃和一次最终的毁灭。课程涵盖的主题包括：城市的建立与基督信仰的确立；在崩溃时代仍能生存和发展的东罗马帝国；贾斯廷时代的未遂辉煌；与波斯的战争和伊斯兰的爆发；大约700年后的长期恢复；1025年后的帝国衰退；1204年十字军劫掠后的恢复；长期衰退及最终的土耳其征服。其他涉及的主题还有各种神学争论和希腊语的变化。该课程由一位经验丰富的大学讲师授课，他在古代和拜占庭历史方面有广泛的著作。
The purpose of this course is to explain the nature and history of the Byzantine Empire. It uses images and a spoken narrative and explanation of events.Between 330 AD and 1453, Constantinople (modern Istanbul) was the capital of the Roman Empire, otherwise known as the Later Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Mediaeval Roman Empire, or The Byzantine Empire. For most of this time, it was the largest and richest city in Christendom. The territories of which it was the central capital enjoyed better protections of life, liberty and property, and a higher standard of living, than any other Christian territory, and usually compared favourably with the neighbouring and rival Islamic empires. It was a unique fusion of the Later Roman State and the Christian Church. After an early period, in which it was seen as just the Roman Empire with a new faith and a new capital, and in which Latin remained the language of law and administration, it gradually transitioned to a Greek Orthodox nation state, absolutely distinct from mediaeval Christendom in the West and from the realms of Islam. Its durability throughout its thousand years of existence is attested by its survival of climatic disaster, plague, demographic collapse, and one apparently final destruction.Subjects covered include:· The foundation of the City and establishment of the Christian Faith· Survival and growth of the Eastern Empire in what was otherwise and age of collapse· The failed glory that was the Age of Justinian· The Persian War and the Islamic explosion· The long recovery after about 700· The decline of the Empire after 1025· Recovery after the Crusader sack of 1204· The long decline and the final Turkish conquestOther subject touched on are the various theological disputes and changes in the Greek language.The course is delivered by an experienced university lecturer who has written widely on ancient and Byzantine history.
