Question

Which best describes Byzantine culture? a. It was a blend of Indian and Chinese cultures. It was a blend of Scandinavian and Asian cultures. b. It was a blend of Greco-Roman and Persian cultures. c. It was just the same as Roman culture.

Answer 1

Byzantine Culture was a mix of cultures given that the empire spanned a large swath of territory around the Mediterranean Sea, however, based upon these answers the best answer is probably C.) because it was most similar to Roman culture. It was a blend of Greco-Roman cultures but it was not a blend of Persian culture because the Byzantine Empire was often at war with the Persians.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option:  c. It was just the same as Roman culture

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire founded by Roman Emperor Constantine I when he decided to change his capital from Rome. Constantine I shifted his capital to a Greek colony Byzantium. Byzantine cultures were the same as the Roman culture because it was only a continuation of empire in a different place. The Byzantine people called themselves as Roman because they follow many Roman laws, a system of governance, regulation and aspects of Roman culture within their empire.
