Dante's poem, the Divine Comedy written in the 14th-century, reflect Christian beliefs in the Middle Ages in many ways:
1. Life after death - Dante in his sickbed went to hell and saw it for himself in first person with a Roman poet, Virgil. They saw how the dead went back to life in hell. They suffered there, they were tortured there, and they were executed there but since they don't die anymore, the process is in perpetuity.
2. Purgatory, hell, and heaven - Dante, in his sickbed travelled to hell, purgatory, and later heaven before he came back to his senses.
3. satan, devils, angels, saints, and God - Dante saw devils in his travel to hell. At the very bottom of hell, he saw the frozen satan. In his way to heaven, he saw the saints. Later, he saw God as three equally sized circles symbolizing the Father Son and Holy Spirit.

Constantinople was able to survive due to its <em>strategic</em> location and <em>sofisticated</em> system of fortifications.
Constantinople was able to survive as the <em>central</em> hub of the European culture throughout the early 1000s due to its strategic location, the city was located in a strait between the Black and Mediterranean Seas, between Europe and Asia, which allowed the city to be prevented from many invaders, from Hunes to Arabs.
In addition, the city counted with a sophisticated system of fortifications which made impossible any attempt of siege until the appearance of first developments on modern artillery in the 15th Century, and the city was well communicated with the most important nations in Eastern and Western Europe by sea (i.e. Italy, Carolingian Empire, Kiev' Rus), of which the city may receive reinforcements in desperate situations.
