No dear ... I wasn't wondering .... I was asking you what you thought it was, since according to you a Greek Byzantium did not exist. Only Roman.

"Irrelevant bollocks" is what you later called the Nicosia Museum ... where I believe that icon is housed.

Are you seriously suggesting that Christianity (the religion) is Roman or “Hellenic”???

Do you even know the origins of Christianity you incompetent Greek buffoon???

The death of Jesus is the crux of Christianity, the very start which took place at AD-Zero, whereas the Byzantine Empire began 400 years later!!!

We weren't discussing the origins of Christianity. But the Roman/Greek nature of the Byzantium ... at which point you declared ...

the Byzantium empire was Roman!

You can change your mind now

A war is approaching Hellenism, and this war will be like none before it.

What's this got to do with the CyProb section and when does hellenism plan to croak so I can attend the funeral?

according the the original article Cyprus is part of Greater Greece - go figure!

This “Greater Greece” must be the greatest mythological accomplishment…

Never heard of the Hellenistic period and then the Byzantium empire.

I have but the Byzantium empire was Roman!

Of course, in the make-believe world of mythology you can name any empire you like as "Hellenic"... even the Ottoman so go for your life!

Your complex against anything Hellenic makes you to understand history in your own ay. Byzantium started ofcourse as Roman but pls reread the history afterwards.You have to study again /

The word “Hellenic” did not even exist until around the 1820s when it was invented, so the notion that the Byzantium Empire was “Hellenic” is as daft as the deceiving clowns who came up with this hoax and the stupid modern Greeks who adopted such manufactured rubbish.

GR, This was said by he last Byzantine emperor, Costantinos Palaeologus, when he was asked to surrender the city:

«Το την πόλιν σοι δούναι ούτ’ εμού, ούτε των αυτήν οικούντων. Κοινή γαρ γνώμη πάντες αυτοπροαιρέτως αποθανούμεν και ου φεισόμεθα της ζωής ημών».

Does this suggest "Roman" (Latin) to you GR ?

Your point being what? My koumbaro who often goes to China knows how to curse out in Chinese when asked to surrender his money.

“The term "Byzantine Empire" is an invention of historians and was never used during the Empire's lifetime. The Empire's name in Greek was Basileia ton Rhōmaiōn (Greek: Βασιλεία των Ῥωμαίων)— "The Empire of the Romans"— a translation of the Latin name of the Roman Empire (Latin: Imperium Romanōrum); or just Rhōmania (Greek: Ῥωμανία).”

You are deliberately missing the point, GR. Was your koumbaro born in china and/or had chinese as his mother tongue? Are all the church hymns/psalms of his Church written in chinese? Is the lingua franca of his home country chinese? Is the labguage of his home country chinese? Really GR, you can do better than that!

"The very name Byzantine illustrates the misconceptions to which the empire's history has often been subject, for its inhabitants would hardly have considered the term appropriate to themselves or to their state. Theirs was, in their view, none other than the Roman Empire, founded shortly before the beginning of the Christian Era by God's grace to unify his people in preparation for the coming of his Son. Proud of that Christian and Roman heritage, convinced that their earthly empire so nearly resembled the heavenly pattern that it could never change, they called themselves Romaioi, or Romans."
