We consider that the ambassador's accusation was not an insult because it referred to a form of justice that existed in the Byzantine empire.

<h3>What is mutilation?</h3>

Mutilation is a term that refers to the action of violently cutting or tearing a limb or part of the body from a living being.

<h3>How did mutilation work in the Byzantine Empire?</h3>

Mutilation in the Byzantine Empire was a common method of punishment for criminals. On the other hand, it was also used by the emperor to marginalize political rivals because it was not allowed to have an emperor with missing body parts, so a mutilation completely removed him from the list of eligible to succeed the throne.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the accusation that in the Byzantine Empire they mutilated their captives was not an insult because it was a common practice that was not taboo at that time.

What are map projections used? Do map projections have distortion?​
lianna [129]
The good news is that map projections allow us to distort systematically; we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. We have many different map projections because each has different patterns of distortion—there is more than one way to flatten an orange peel.
