The Similarities between: The Byzantine Empire and Islamic Civilization

Many of past civilizations have experienced many failures and victories during their existence. Many civilizations began to prosper in the 3 rd century. One of the civilizations that began to expand was the Byzantine civilization. The Byzantine civilization, also known as Byzantium, was part of the Roman Empire that split in the year 395 AD. Byzantine exercises the same attitude as the Roman Empire, the power to dominate citizens and the entire empire.

Despite the similarities between the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim caliphs, there are differences. They differ in how they deal with laws and how they deal with disadvantaged religious practices. The Byzantine Empire systematized Roman law. They enacted their laws according to the laws of the Roman Empire, updated and revised them. They used Roman law because they inherited a part of the eastern part of Rome. They stuck to the law they used and decided to make some changes. This is the easiest and wise approach. Islamic Caliphates outlines the law using the Quran law and Islamic law.

Since the Byzantine Empire came from the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire has many similarities with Rome. This includes cultures, religions and places. These similarities and differences helped shape the Byzantine Empire 's image. The similarity between the two empires is the form of entertainment that occurs in these cultures. The Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire both like watching the gladiator competition in the large stadium.

There are many similarities between the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire, but there are also differences. Perhaps the most striking difference is that the way the Byzantine empire ruled a part of the empire was compared with the way the Romans dominated the empire. Byzantine developed political and social coordination in the face of Islamic conquest (Romans have not dealt with it for a long time). The arrangement of Byzantine rulers is called the subject system. Under the theme system, part of the empire (the theme) was placed under the influence of the general. The general played a role in overseeing his subject matter of military defense system and administration. These generals are closely monitored by the government to prevent the possibility and power of decentralization of power.
