THE EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE AFTER THE DEATH OF EMPEROR CONSTANTINE THE GREAT UNTIL THE TENTH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Constantine the Great considered himself the representative of God on earth, but also the fact that through his mind is transmitted “divine intelligence.” This conception about the emperor manifested itself throughout the existence of the Byzantine Empire. The emperors who followed Constantine the Great intervened in problems that arose within the Church. Some of them supported it, and others who shared the heresies that appeared during this period, persecuted the important representatives of the Church who tried to defend the purity of Christianity. Within the Byzantine Empire, numerous transformations will now take place in all fields, and these transformations will lay the foundations on which the Byzantine state developed.
