Sinekatalog’s take

An examination of the glory and collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire from an Orthodox Christian viewpoint. Clearly confessional in perspective, it is meant for viewers who want a religiously framed account of history.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
