Show transcript
After Rome's fall in 476 CE, the Byzantine Empire survived in the east, and considered themselves Romans.
Constantinople grew strong and beautiful with impressive artworks, churches and the famous hippodrome.
The Emperor Justinian ruled from 527 to 565 CE.
Justinian compiled a code of law and ordered all his subjects to be Christian, and to worship in the way he told them.
The Eastern Church believed many of the same things as in the West, but they did not recognise the pope's supremacy.
