One of The Byzantine empire's great achievements was the preservation of Roman and Greek Culture. In 476 in the West, the Romans collapsed. Along with their downfall, many libraries and other documents were lost. The Byzantine empire survived in the east, along with the rest of the Roman Empire. They attempted to save as much information and knowledge that they possibly could. One of the major documents that was preserved was the Roman Law because it was written by Byzantine's greatest emperor, Justinian. Justinian was able to figure out what the Roman Laws meant and he also focused on the existing laws. Because of Emperor Justinian, the Roman laws are the base of our government and the government of other countries.
Another great achievement for the Byzantine empire is cultural diffusion. They spread the information that they saved to different people and parts of the world. Travelers that went through the Byzantine Empire would learn about the Roman and Greek culture and would share it with others. Without this spread of information, we probably wouldn’t know as much as we do today!
