Византийская империя. "Второй Рим". Великое государство, колыбель православия, очаг высокой культуры? Тирания, безжалостно управлявшая множеством покоренных народов, давившая в подданных всякий намек на свободомыслие и жажду независимости? Путешественники с восхищением писали о блеске и роскоши "Второго Рима" и с ужасом упоминали о жестокости интриг императорского двора, о многочисленных религиозных и политических распрях, терзавших империю, о феноменально скандальных для Средневековья нравах знатных византийцев... Византийская империя познала и времена богатства и могущества, и дни упадка и разрушения. День, когда Византия перестала существовать, известен точно: 29 мая 1453 года.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. A fair 3 stars.
