For those who don’t know, this is a real Greek Orthodox hymn. According to tradition it was chanted in constantinople after every miraculous successful defense of the city against overwhelming odds. Byzantines believed the city was protected by the virgin mary and the hymn is all about how she is byzantium’s greatest general.

Basil II is the byzantine ruler who was called "bulgar's slayer". As a bulgarian this is a very important part of our history. During the reign of Basil II Bulgaria has got its ruler in Samuel. Between these two there were several great battles, but one was final for the First Bulgarian Empire. Thаt was the battle of Klyuch - 1014 AD. Bulgarian army (15 000) was defeated, most of them were taken as prisoners and in every 100 soldiers, only one was left with an eye! They were sent back to Bulgaria's borders. When Samuel of Bulgaria saw this terrible view he got a heart attack and died... Even the fact that Byzantium was Bulgaria's greatest opponent, when I play Civilization I choose Byzantium because I feel it most close to Bulgaria and most related to our history. There were times of peace and great wars.

the gregorian chant and the orthodox hymns have the same roots though, they 'were' the 'same thing' even after the capital became constantinople. the biggest difference is that after the schism, catholics slowly turned to polyphony and orthodox stayed at monophony. the religious chants of catholics up to 10th century were remarkably similar to this.

No. Byzantines is a word chosen by an obscure writer in XVII century and became popular with Gibbon. English Historians in XVIII century decided that eastern roman empire was not Roman Empire but a worser version, a worser version of Rome by Greeks. Because of this they started to called it Byzantine Empire and created a new word, Byzantinism, that had negative meaning. Romaioi were known by their enemy as Greeks, more y the Western Latin Catholics, or Romans. When Crusaders took Constantinople they were greatly embarassed. The ruler could not call himself Roman Emperor because the Pope, who recognized only the HR Emperor so, and invented the title of Emperor of Constantinople.

@@DiscothecaImperialis Looking back into history and judging it with modern eyes is a foolish effort. Of course you will find things that you do not like now. But to distort it to the extent that you've done here is worse than any crime committed in the past. The Eastern Roman Empire was not a dictatorship. It was an empire ruled by an emperor. He was helped by many stable and loyal ministers councilors and a practical army of administrators and officials. Byzantium was a religious state just like all states were officially religious up to the French Revolution. So being religious is not a historical blemish on any state. Byzantium was probably one of the freest in terms of what religion you can practice, as Constantinople had a vast are for people of different religions to live in. They were not allowed in certain offices sure, but that was the case in every country during that time. And islamic states were much more restrictive and less tolerant than Byzantium, so to even suggest this comparison is ignorance and stupidity of the highest order. Compared to any religion of the past of the future, Christianity is the best or at least in the top 3. Of all the universal religions (i.e. global, not merely local) it is without question the one that brought the most freedom and enlightenment to all the world. Remember that the so called islamic "golden age" was simply a trickle of knowledge that flowed from the fullness that existed in Byzantium. I.e. the islamic neighbours of Byzantium never even approached the scientific achievements of Byzantium. They did a few experiments in the field of medicine and discovered some new stars but that's about it. Christianity influenced the Renaissance the Enlightenment, the scientific method, religious freedom, universal human rights. All these values and ideas are derived from Christianity, even if in history individual church men might have protested them. And as the original commenter stated, Constantinople was the centre of culture and trade and riches and learning in that age for almost a millenium.

When Ottomans conquered Constantinople, Byzantium(Eastern Roman Empire) was already dead. The once largest city on earth was already diminished to couple ten thousand people. It was the Catholic crusaders that killed Byzantium 2 centuries before Turks even arrived at the gates.

The exonym "Byzantium" was created by a German historian after the fall of Constantinople. Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire at the time, a state that claimed to be the successor to the Roman Empire, but with no legality whatsoever. When we say Byzantium, we're basically reverberating German propaganda from the 16th-century. In every sense, "Byzantium" was the *Roman Empire.* Surviving until 1453, the Roman Empire lasted nearly 1,500 years.

THe Virginity , wisdom and clarity of Athena can be also attributed to Panagia (Virgin Marry) . Although Marry in other occasions is a mother figure , Byzantines and Western Romans really shaw in her Name the Character oF Athena , the most important Godess of ancient Greece. Also this hymn was sang by the people inside Hagia Sofia in 1453 before the Ottomans killed them.( yes Unfortunatelly its not propaganda , teh women and childern inside the Church were slaughtered from the invaders.)

Beautiful. I believe this is an Akathist to the Mother of God.

The last bequest of ancient World. It faught till the end and is memory is well preserved, the lone that have fought with success the arab horde for centuries. Honor for Byzantine. Or better: Honor for the last romans.

I don't even play this game; I just subscribe for the soundtrack.

Have you listened to Georgia's soundtrack?

@@josgretf2800 Not my absolute favorite as some movements are better than others. It's difficult to modulate and develop the theme across four time periods without it becoming repetitive (America) or overly dramatic (Georgia). I have listened to everything at this point. The Zulu is perhaps the best overall across all four ages. Arabia, Turkey, Inca, Mongolia, and Ethiopia are also very good. The overall quality is outstanding. but I was impressed with the fidelity and playfulness of the Mapuche theme. In contrast, I thought France was pretty disappointing together with a mediocre leader pick. Yeah, I also think about gameplay for a game I don't play.
