The course of the history of Byzantium (Eastern Roman Empire) had changed many times for better or for worse and a lot of these changes were mostly due to its emperor and their decisions. The Byzantine Empire was one of history’s longest lasting empires living for more than 1,100 years and within 11 centuries its history had gone such a long way starting out as basically the continuation of the Roman Empire but moved to the east as it was based in Constantinople but overtime, the Byzantines as the successor to the old Roman Empire evolved into a Greek speaking empire and at its final years a small territory only holding the capital Constantinople and a few other areas.
Since I cannot really rank who in my opinion are my best and worst emperors, I will do this list in chronological order from the Byzantine Empire’s founding in 330 to its fall in 1453, the first part will be my 15 greatest emperors out of Byzantium’s 90+ emperors and the second part will be my 12 worst emperors out of the 90+ emperors and this article does not have to be read all in one piece, rather you can read it part by part as each part emperor is rather short. This article will basically be on rating some of the best and worst Byzantine emperors in my opinion which means it will more or less focus on what some of Byzantium’s emperors successfully did or failed to do and anymore so much on the background of Byzantine history and their times. Welcome back to another article by The Byzantium Blogger and Happy Holidays! This here will be my year-ender article for this year 2019 and like all the other articles I previously did, this will be still long but at least still shorter and more straight to the point than the previous ones I did. WARNING: THIS WILL BE A LONG ARTICLE!! Also the final article for 2019!
