At that rate, I'm surprised the Venitians didn't just buy Constantinople itself from the city's garrison!
It's painful to watch, once great civizations, collapses from corruption.
Truly, the most dangerous enemy for any powerful nation will always come from within.

Fun fact: the ruler of egypt at the time was none other than Saladin, and this was his first test as a Vizier

[ampeerprime]

Rome: I'm gonna reconquer all of the land I once had
also Rome: You give me Dinars, I give you all of my navy's nails

Ironically today I discovered Denars, Dinars, and Denariis are all almost the same thing.

Could you imagine if Manuel Komnenos had lived a little longer? Just enough for his son to be older? Andronikus was an evil traitor.

[giorgijioshvili]

Roman navy: exists
Corrupted officials: .and I took that personally

[knightofsvea]

"Why did the roman empire fall?"

"Corruption."

[pseudomonas]

The Byzantine navy was destroyed during the civil war between Isaakios Aggelos and the strategos of Cyprus, prince Isaakios Komnenos (from the Komneni dynasty), when the later tried to rebel against the central rule of the Aggeloi dynasty (the worst Byzantine dynasty ever). After this conflict, the Byzantine navy basically ceased to exist. For this reason there was no Byzantine navy during the Sack of 1204.

The Romans worst enemy were themselves.

[typicalperson]

Summarization:
“I used the Romans to destroy the Romans”

[alexb]

We should look at all these Empires, asking ourselves: 'What drove them to be such filthy fools?'

[Arminas]

Imagine what they could of done if corruption and civil wars weren't a constant for over a thousand years.

[AKAZA-kqjd]

See no better angles on both sides 1204 the year of greed.

[thelegend_doggo]

Does anyone else imagine that if they were the emperor of Eastern Rome at this time they’d introduce loads of reforms, getting rid of all the corruption, then forming a massive army and re conquering the entire Mediterranean?……

[wendten]

and where were they when the westfold fell?

[nenenindonu]

Going for Egypt and ending up losing Constantinople such a Byzantine move

[nenenindonu]

Where was the Ming navy during the Siege of Constantinople 1453

[iohboklangkhongjoh]

So glad that I am living now in the modern age where corruption does not exist.

[TheCentristChad]

Talk about saving a penny to lose a dollar

[Merrinen]

Russia has a few of Michael Stryphnoses of their own taking good care of their military equipment.

[handson]

Rome is a good example of democracy and capitalism left untamed...it kinda mirrors USA...
