330 .. $a "Was there ever such a thing as the Byzantine Empire and who were those self-professed
Romans we choose to call "Byzantine" today? At the heart of these two interlinked
questions is Anthony Kaldellis's assertion that empires are, by definition, multiethnic.
If there was indeed such a thing as the Byzantine Empire, which rules bounded majority
and minority ethnic groups? The labels for the minority groups in Byzantium are clear
- Slavs, Bulgarians, Armenians, Jews, Muslims. What was the ethnicity of the majority
group? Historical evidence tells us unequivocally that no card-carrying Byzantine
ever called himself "Byzantine." He would identify as Roman. This line of identification
was so strong in the eastern empire that even the conquering Ottomans saw themselves
as inheritors of the Roman Empire. In Western scholarship, however, there has been
a long tradition of denying Romanness to Byzantium. In the Middle Ages, people of
the eastern empire were made "Greeks," and by the nineteenth century they were shorn
of their distorted Greekness and turned "Byzantine." In Romanland, Kaldellis argues
that it is time for historians to take the Romanness of Byzantines seriously so that
we can better understand the relations between Romans and non-Romans, as well as the
processes of assimilation that led to the absorption of foreign groups into the Roman
genos"--Provided by publisher
