in 337 Constantine dies and Rome splits. the west declines, but the east was great and became known as Byzantium. Emperor Justinian is the ruler, we know this time for its beautiful churches(basilicas). this style of architecture began near and in Constantinople and spread throughout Europe, through the 5th and 6th centuries.
