M. Velichko "History of the Byzantine Emperors" reveals the events of the reign of all monarchical dynasties of the Holy Roman (Byzantine) Empire – from St. Constantine the Great before the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This is the first comprehensive study in which historical events from the political life of the Byzantine state are depicted in their organic relationship with the life of the ancient Church and the personality of specific kings. The work describes in detail and in detail the most interesting vicissitudes of the history of the Byzantine state, including in terms of interchurch relations between Rome and Constantinople. Numerous events of the times of the Ecumenical Councils are cited, the role and forms of participation of emperors in the activities of the Catholic Church are revealed. The work is supplied with portraits of all the emperors of the Byzantine Empire, maps and extensive reference material. /// For all those interested in the history of Byzantium, the Church, law and politics, as well as students of law and history faculties. /// This volume covers the era from Constantine the Great to Anastasius I. /// ... /// By the example of Byzantium, as reincarnated in Christ and through Christ of the pagan Roman Empire, the Lord revealed such an ideal that would be able to overshadow the pagan Roman analogue, striking in its appearance the minds of his contemporaries. Christ gave not only the ideal of personal faith on the example of the exploits of the first martyrs, ascetics, and saints. He bestowed (by man himself such an ideal, naturally, could neither be conceived nor created) to us a political (sometimes they say – social) ideal, as a special political and legal type of state system, in which the goals and objectives of the earthly Church organically become the alpha and omega public policy ... In other words, the Savior indicated under what state structure the most favorable conditions for the “capture of men” and the regeneration of the old man into the son of God are formed for the Church. /// The practical embodiment of the Kingdom of God on earth in the person of the Empire is the quintessence of Byzantinism, the meaning of life and existence of Byzantium as the first Orthodox state. Hence, as a result, all other legal and social structures are generated that create a stable political, legal and cultural image of an ideal state. /// The main idea of the political and legal system of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire was the imposition of the law of the Church on the state, the well-known identification of the tasks of the Church and the state, and the churching of man. "The Church in Byzantium just aspired to express itself in the state, to make its law the law of the state. " For Byzantium, “the existence in a state with civil and political rights of such persons to whom the law of the Church did not apply, and for whom non-observance of church law was not combined with civil and political lawlessness” was a complete absurdity, an unthinkable situation.
