language was Greek, Latin was also fairly common, and at one point all
seventy-two of the world's known languages were represented in
Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire was not the was an oasis of peace in the
desert of the perilous middle ages. On the contrary, its long history is marked
by numerous wars and remarkable internal strife.
