Byzantium

The Eastern Roman Empire, which continued the traditions of the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Centred on Constantinople, it was a major global power and a centre of trade and culture. Byzantine silver bowls and spoons found at Sutton Hoo demonstrate the extraordinary reach of 7th-century trade networks, linking the kings of East Anglia to the imperial court in the East.
