Perhaps the coolest name for any political unit ever. Though the Empire of Trebizond is pretty cool, too. It is sad to see these colorful fragments get hammered one by one by the Ottomans. Runciman's book on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Constantinople-1453-Canto/dp/0521398320" rel="nofollow">Fall of Constantinople</a> is a stirring work.

There was a huge jump between 40 BC and 70 AD. Huge change in that period. Egypt was absorbed earlier on and Trajan expanded Luther east. Some thing are not accurate.

Very lucky for us that the Romano-German world was not so twisted. Very sad that both Byzantium and the Rus were smashed and deformed by invaders from the east.

Took about 30 minutes to sit through, but absolutely fascinating and fun to figure out what was what.
