MiG-35 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Nice map, but it could be more accurate: - Britain in that map is not shown as a part of the Christan World. - Bysanzine Armenia is shown in the map, but the other part o Armenia (Parsarmenia) is not indicated in the Persian Empire. - Also, the Eastern and Western parts of the Roman Empire at that time were separate countries already. - Finlly, in that map the German tribes are shown outside the Christian World, whereas they in fact already were Christian. Here is another, more accurate map of the same period taken from Historical EuroAtlas attached: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phrygian Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Mig, it's just a map of the Eastern Roman Empire at its greatest extent, not a map of the Christian World. Frankish dominions and the Visigothic Kingdom are also fully highlighted along with the Western portion of the Sassanian Empire. Btw, under Justinian most of the gains were realized by Belisarius and three Romano-Armenian generals, most famous of whom was Narses Kamsarakan. Narses defeated the Ostrogothic chieftain Totila as well as an army of Franks and Alemanni. He was also insturmental in stopping the infamous Nika riots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phrygian Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) By the way, Phrygian, can you understadn the Greek text at the map? I can't... ← Transliterated roughly: Basileos Basileon Basileyon Basileyonton It means: King of Kings Ruling Over Rulers For example Tigran Mets had on his coins: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΤΙΓΡΑΝΟΥ/BASILEOS TIGRANOY/KING TIGRAN or ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΤΙΓΡΑΝΟΥ ΦΙΛΕΛΗΝΟ/KING TIGRAN THE GREAT PHILHELLENE Armenian form of Basil is Barsel (l's turned gh after, like patarakal became patarakagh), the Russian form is Vasiliy.
