Summary/Abstract: The duel between King Samuil and Emperor Basil II, between the kingdom of the Bulgarians and the empire of the Romans ended. This was a collide between two worlds. On one side stood the Byzantine Empire, firmly anchored on Roman state tradition, Hellenic cultural heritage and Christian faith. Against itself it had the state of the Bulgarians and their eastern system of state law, broken through the influence of the Alans, the Avars, and the Romans themselves. And if the kingdom perished, the Bulgarian people survived. The Christian faith not only did not become a bridge for the melting of the Bulgarians, but even more consolidated the vitality of the Bulgarian state in the following centuries.
