Fall of Constantinople

The Byzantines ruled from 330 C.E. until 1453. After the Roman Empire fell, the emperor Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium. Byzantium, also known as Constantinople and Istanbul, is now located in present day Turkey. After Constantine built up Byzantium to be a very nice place, he named it after himself; Constantinople. During the Byzantines 1,000 year history, they achieved many things that most people haven’t learned, because of the lack of focus on the Byzantines in schools.…

My purpose of my research paper is to show how the rise of christianity played a role in the fall of Rome. When christianity first arose the government leaders and emperor thought of it as a threat. They believed that believing in one god (Jesus) and not the emperor would result in disloyalty to the emperor. And because of this threat of christianity the government would punish the people who believed in it. By execution or other harsh punishments. The government made all christians convert back…

A great revolt called the Nika Riot hit Constantinople in 532 A.D. because of the unpopularity of the Emperor Justinian. Justinian had been emperor for five years now and his unpopularity came from the taxes that he had imposed on the people. At the end Justinian had put down the rebellion with…

Additionally, the mosaics depict an array of jewel decoration such as gold rings, earrings, necklaces, and winged crowns and tiaras. These jeweled aesthetics symbolize and establish the presence of royal power, which could be taken as the almighty power of God but also the achievements of the Sassanian king, whose empire had great influence in Islamic art and the expansion of the religion. Furthermore, the prevalence of royal symbols in mosaics, which are very common in Byzantine art, could…

There are many successful and unsuccessful empires throughout the western civilizations. I believe that the Persian Empire was the most successful empire and the Neo-Assyrian Empire to be the least successful. The Assyrians were hated by everyone they had control over; on the other hand the Persians weren’t seen as enemies by those they had conquered because they weren’t as forceful and controlling as the Assyrians, and those who were under the Persian Empire had more freedom. After falling…

time an illegal practice that was done behind closed doors. Constantine made it acceptable for individuals to be practices their faith in the open. An example of this was the fact that Constantine laid the groundwork for the Patriarchate of Constantinople to become a major spiritual center. As for Charlemagne he sponsored missionary efforts, and encouraged the spread of Benedictine monasteries. He also encouraged the reproduction of theological manuscripts. Despite the aforementioned we…

Christianity prospered in Jerusalem during the Byzantine era because the rulers of the empire had adopted it as their religion, from Constantine to Heraclius (Parker 136). The people who were once persecuted for their faith were now expressing it with the support of their emperors who were building basilicas, monasteries, and other religious buildings throughout the Byzantine Empire. Some of the buildings in the Holy City survived intact to this day, notably the Church of the Holy Sepulchre;…

Fall Prevention in Elderly Population The falls are one of the leading injury causes in Canada. This is especially true about elderly population.

According to World Health Organization, “A fall is defined as an event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or other lower level.” The consequences of the falls (if any) can…

Prevention of Inpatient Falls Patient falls remain the most common adverse event in acute care facilities, with 2%-15% of hospitalized patients reported to fall at least once. Falls can lead to pain, loss of function, fear of further falls and even death (Tanaka, Sakuma, Ohtani, Toshiro, Matsumura, & Morimoto, 2012). An increased focus is being placed on inpatient falls because of morbidity, mortality, increased cost of care, and lack of reimbursement (Cumbler, Simpson, Rosenthal, & Likosky,…
