Abstract
Description
Constantine the Great considered himself the representative
of God on earth, but also the fact that through his mind is transmitted
“divine intelligence.” This conception about the emperor manifested itself
throughout the existence of the Byzantine Empire. The emperors who followed
Constantine the Great intervened in problems that arose within the
Church. Some of them supported it, and others who shared the heresies
that appeared during this period, persecuted the important representatives
of the Church who tried to defend the purity of Christianity.
Within the Byzantine Empire, numerous transformations will now take
place in all fields, and these transformations will lay the foundations on
which the Byzantine state developed.
