Byzantines and Western Europeans be like

The Byzantine Empire is great when you don't got a Frank in yo ear telling you it's an oriental despotate

The Roman Empire? Of course I know him, he’s me!

"Stop telling people I'm dead!"

[stormsurge]

Venetians: "We're somewhat Roman ourselves." while busy stealing enormous amounts of Byzantine art.

"dude your grandparents are kinda the reason they fell"

[DeusExAngelo]

I dunno man, it's all Greek to me.

[Sonilotos]

"I miss Rome" said the Europeans who decided to somehow treat the Byzantines worse than the Ottomans

Spotted a statue of a “vewy good fwiend”

Funniest thing is that the myth about great old times came in renencance. Medieval people didn't see that they lived in dark ages.

Lmao the Rome total war music is flashing me back

[Hasserthered]

I love that the Roman feats he's admiring are a document related to goat fucking, lmao

"I Charlemagne, shall be Emperor of the Romans." -Charlemagne


"I am Right HERE!" Empress Irene

Apparently, modern Italy (or at least, medieval Italy kingdoms and the renaissance) got kickstarted when Eastern Romans fled the invasions back to Rome (and the rest of Italy).

Can we all just give mad props to the Total War: Rome soundtrack still setting the tone for that ancient period no matter the content creator using it...

[antoniobautista]

Karolus Magnus really said "Shoutout Western Rome, would totally do it again", but then ended up denying the Eastern Romans 🤣

[Victor-ydhp]

Divinitus has me nostalgic for that Rome TW

[uberfeel]

Fun fact : Italian renaissance was started by Byzantine scholars who migrated to Italian states before the fall of the Byzantine empire

[victorvondroom]

I literally had this argument with my mom (another history buff like me) like 30 minutes ago

[Lord-H]

That Divinitus ost always hits right in the nostalgia! ❤
