    The Byzantine Empire

    The Byzantine Empire came to power after the roman empire fell in 476 A.D.

    There goverment system was like the roman empires.they were feared as opponents in battle.Their

    culture and religion was much like the romans.

    The Roman Empire was one of the strongest civilazations of their time

    but"When the Roman Empire fell in A.D. 476,its legacy would live on in the form of what we know

    refer to as the Byzantine Empire.".The Byzantine Empire"chronologicly it spanned the period

    from about 330 to 1453,and at its height ruled the lands from The Euphrates in the east to the

    strait of Gibraltar in the west."."The Byzantine empire was the continuation of the Roman empire

    in the eastern mediterranian during the middle ages.".The Byzantine empire was diverse with ethnic

    groups"Ethnically the empire was diverse,its subjects including Greeks,Armenians,slavs,Arabs,

    Egyptians,and Latins, Although its culture from the seventh century on, was predominantly Greek.".

    The most important place in the empire was constantinople the capital of the empire, "The center of

    the empire, in both cultural and political terms, was contantinople,the site of the court of the empire,

    with its many bureas and complex ceromony,and the seat of the partriach of constantinople,

    the spiritual leader of Byzantine christianity.".

    As the Byzantine empire began to grow it started to become an intimidating

    opponent for other civilazations,"The Byzantine Empire grew gradually and organically from the

    old Roman Empire,and it is not possible to assign any precise date for its foundings.".The empire

    had thier first emporer Constatine,"Constatine was not primarily an innovator,and he built firmly

    on the foundations of his predecessors."."He did however,build a great eastern capital at

    contantinople;he also became a christion and encouraged his subjects to do likewise."."The age

    of constatine also witnessed the culmination of a process of political reorganization that had

    begun in the third century and had even furthered by the tertrarchs.".Under the rule of constatine

    things started to change,"The loose administration of the Roman Empire was replaced by a

    tightly organized structure that was,at least theoretically,personolly coorinated by the all power

    emporer."."The emporer was in general secluded from ordinary idivisuals and his person

    elavated far beyond that of mere mortals."

    really nice truck Bulldogin I saw you at the racewaypark truck show I was with t Fiore demolition.all his trucks are brandy new and nice but toooooooooo quiet.He has a couple old macks sitting in the back of the yard,one is an R model with a steel hood and a butterfly hood,it used to be the lowbed truck.I asked the owner about it but he rather see it rot into the ground and turn into a rust bucket.Really nice Autocar though keep her kleen.

  5. If there is someone wanting a A car , a guy called last week and tried to sell me one for $1,500. I never went to look at it, i have Enough things to get done in my lifetime, Its a early 80,s with a 350, Let me Know and i will pass the Numbers on

    where is the guy located

  6. i ended up putting a muffler on it because I started it and my neighbor called the cops so I put the muffler on.I still have the chrome pipe though i put it over the muffler so it looks straight piped.It runs good though yesterday I had the plow and tire chains on it and my mom needed a pile of mulch spread out so i used the wheelhorse with the plow and pushed it all out. That thing pushes like a tank

  7. I plan on getting a chrome stallion for the hood.I would get a Bulldog for the hood but its a wheelhorse.there are two reasons why i wanted it straight piped 1. I LOVE how it looks. and 2. I wanted to get more power out of it because i also have a plow for the tractor and when it snows i wanted to plow driveway I figured i could make a buck off of it and i like to work on it also its ALOT cheaper than a Mack B Model.
