  • In the heart of a metropolitan city of 15 million people, and among the construction of a new billion-dollar transportation network, an archaeological sensation has been discovered: the ancient harbor of Theodosious. Theodosious was the last ruler of a unified Roman Empire. The harbour was lost for 800 years, until now....

      Under Justinian, Greek was the language commonly spoken at the imperial court, in the same way as Italian is spoken at the Vatican.
      Under Mavrikos, just a few years later, any pretences of "Romanitas" had been given up and Greek became the only official language of the Bizantine state. Latin was still understood, as a Lingua Franca, to deal with the west, but the Bizantine Emperor's were now fully Bizantine, and felt Greeks rather then Romans.
      The transition had been going for a couple of centuries, but the Roman Empire died, after a fashion, with Justinian, in the same way as it died under Odovacar in the west, just a century before.

      @Basil II of Macedon the Vardaskan slayer Empires subdue people and collect tax, that is what they do. That is how they become an empire. Roman Empire was no exception: Incorporating the land held by local warlords and city states to the empire was pretty routine for the Romans. Crushing religion based uprisings were a different story: Roman army had no qualms about annihilating them.

      Respectfully, I don't think they're ignoring or unaware of that fact. Rather, this documentary is about a specific harbor that was built and active during the Byzantine period. Therefore, that is the focus of all of the discussion. For example, if you made a documentary about the Empire State Building in New York City, you wouldn't necessarily discuss in detail the Dutch colony or native populations that preceded it.

      Considering they're digging up/discovering a harbor from the 4th century AD and on wards makes sense they would only talk about it as Constantinople and it's Christian era. Why would they mention it as Byzantium? There's nothing ancient that's being discovered right then and there

We were using the same tunneling machines to build our new express tunnel and kept hitting buildings that were not on any maps from the early years of Seattle and the Alaskan Gold Rush. Then there was all the debris from the Great Fire that added years to the project. I can only imagine it at this scale .

      The titles of New Rome and New Jerusalem are not made up by the narrator. The Roman/Byzantine Emperors used that titles for Constantinople... New Rome as the new capital of the Roman Empire and New Jerusalem as to emphasize the Christian religion of this empire. Also the term Jerusalem became very quickly till very late in medieval and Reneasance a term characterizing a city of the God, a Kings city, city rightfull to rule etc....So the narrator is on point and he's not clueless. As far about if they ruled the world, eastern Roman Empire was for quite some time the most powerful state in the known world...

      @Field__-Marshal-__Flintlock
      Just to add on to what Van Mars said, "New Jerusalem" is a term from the New Testament and heavily featured in Christian iconography, praise, poetry, etc. Constantinople (which was officially referred to as "New Rome" in Imperial Edicts, Law codes, church councils, et al) was seen as the capital of both the temporal world, and Christendom/the spiritual world, and was very often considered to be the prophetic "New Jerusalem" by the Romans.
      As for "the city that ruled the world," it's a figure of speech(like when some important leader is called "leader of the Free world"), but also was used quite literally in ancient times. Roman writers spoke as if Rome, and later, Constantinople, had subdued the entire inhabited/civilized world. They didn't have the same frame of reference that we do today. They certainly knew of other nations, lands, empires, etc(They were always at war with Persia, and traded annually with India & China) but that didn't change the notion that they ruled the world. Even when the west was lost in the 5th century, or when they lost the vast majority of their territory in the 7th-8th centuries, the idea that Constantinople was the capital of the world, and the queen of cities still remained.
      Lastly, this doc isn't about the old Greek colony of Byzantium, or any yet older Neolithic settlements. Old Byzantium was on the tip of the horn, and didn't include the Harbor of Theodosius, Julian, or any of the southern harbors, which is specifically what the video is about. These harbors weren't built until the 4th century.

      @UColENAEhXrQwcredMmmLqsA Is not my interpretation about those things, those are historical documentation by byzantinologist and historians. It was never called New Rome or New Jerusalem by its people. Those terms used by the empire and the Greek Orthodox church/Patriarchate of Constantinople... I guess you are not familiar with this culture. Me personally raised in a Greek Orthodox environment never put a thought about those terms because I remember them often in the church...and it was never confusing, it isn't like you say Constantinople is like Rome or like Jerusalem...yes, politically used from the empire and the church to make a point about the new era, the change etc....
      About the power now...Byzantine empire lasted for almost thousand years, of course it wasn't the most powerful all this time. The historians make the mark as most powerful from the 4th century till almost 7th century, especially the years of Justinian. It was the time before Islam rise and any major European entity come along. The Byzantine and Sassanids were the two most powerful states at the time. China even though was big and populous and wealthy had always been locked into more introverted policy...while the power is not about how populous you are (is India the most powerful today?) not how big you are (is Russia the most powerful today?) or how wealthy you are (is Switzerland the most powerful ?)..So power is something more complex, is about trade networks, influence, art, technology, significance as religion center, culture, geography, navy etc...So yes the Byzantines for quite some time they were the most powerful

      @@histguy101 Two problems that I have with history is firstly its almost always politically motivated, unfortunately even now, and the saying "history is written by the victors" is a sad depressing truth that no true student of history ever wants to really acknowledge. Secondly we have to take out metaphors in history, otherwise it can get very very confusing very fast. For example Herodotus describes the Achaemenid army invading Greece as numbering in hundreds of thousands and says that their supply trains were in the tens of thousands, well obviously those aren't real numbers, but what he is essentially trying to convey is that they had a large army. But we all know that those numbers could not be right, its just not feasible for that time period. So the only unfortunate victim here is the truth, which can get lost.
