"Even the 10th century Chinese had heard of Roman tendencies to topple Emperors: Their kings are not permanent rulers but they select men of merit. If an extraordinary calamity visits the country or if wind and rain come at the wrong time he is deposed and another man is put in his stead. From the Chiu-tang-shu (written mid-10th Century AD)"

"Was Michael VIII Palaiologos a great emperor He did restore the Roman map to a brief sense of respectability - but dont judge a book by its cover. There are arguments both for and against his reign. While he liberated Constantinople from the Crusaders in 1261 (by luck) and some territory in Europe he did the Empire irreparable damage in the process and the damage is not to be measured only in economic or strategic terms. Economically his policy of appeasing the western powers and bribing their enemies was ruinous. His military policy though successful from the short-term point of view as"

"Im aware it wasnt actually called that. Thats an academic term for us to know what were speaking of. Augustus didnt call his state an empire either. But for us its useful and meaningful to do so. Eastern Roman achieves what Byzantine does a clear identifier of the same kind. But it makes it clearly they were the Roman Empire. It doesnt have the bad baggage Byzantine does. Eastern just refers to the fact it was the continuation of the eastern half of the Roman Empire after the west fell"

All civilized societies then were agrarian and wanted to use the land for agriculture have towns cities and villages. The Natives as occurred in history would have gotten into conflict due to their own way of using the land and their own claim to it. The same cycle"
