Byzantium After Byzantium - Book by Nicolae Iorga

In Byzantium After Byzantium, Nicolae Iorga explores the enduring legacy of Byzantine civilization, emphasizing its influence on world history, particularly during the Renaissance. Iorga argues that Byzantium survived through its people, local autonomies, and exiles. A key example is the role of Greeks from the Phanar district of Istanbul in the Romanian principalities, who shaped Romanian politics during the Phanariot Period. These Greeks preserved and carried forward Byzantine ideals, education, and way of life, allowing Iorga to assert the continued existence of Byzantium long after the fall of Constantinople.
