>making a movie about Christians fighting off all odds in a based city-state in enemy territory that only lost because they were abandonded and left to hang while being invaded by Turks who are literally not even native to the land they now inhabit
why would jewlywood ever do that?

"Byzantine Empire" is a papist term. They called themselves the Roman Empire.
Mason Sullivan
>Why?
Because Greek cinema has no money, and barely anyone in the West cares or even knows about Eastern Rome.

Final episode should definitely be Fall of Constantinople, but what should the first episode be about and what year should the series take place?

The last Roman-Persian war deserves to get more attention honestly
>Emperor Maurice has been ruling effectively and even established peaceful relations with Persia by installing a friendly king to the throne
>suddenly Maurice was murdered by Phokas who then becomes emperor
>the Persian Shah declared war as an act of revenge but also to expand further
>take over Syria and Egypt, sack Jerusalem and steal the Holy Cross
>war goes bad for the Romans and a new usurper called Heraclius rises
>kills Phokas and becomes the new emperor
>manages to score some success against the Persians but is recalled to Constantinople when the Avars siege the city
>repels the Avars and Persians and turned his battles towards marching through the Persian heartlands
>even killed a Persian general in a duel
>finally marched to Nineveh where a climatic battle was fought and Heraclius emerged victorious
>war is finally over with a Roman victory but with great cost of weakening both empires
>Heraclius also retrieves the Holy Cross back to Jerulasem
>everything seems to be fine until the Arabs invade

They would all just be made to wear leather and biker gear. Fuck modern costume designers, just copy from the source instead of "adding your mark" you absolute hacks.

Where's most of our historical kino? You could spend all day listing events or historical settings that would make for great television or film, like the Mongol invasion of Khwarezmia
Yup. It's unfortunate that not many people realize just how long the Roman Empire lasted because historians arbitrarily started calling it a different name
Hudson Ramirez
>why
It just doesn't have a good place in the modern Western imagination, there's no real interest in it. The only country with a film industry and a vested interested in movies involving Byzantium is Turkey, and in that case they're mostly interested in spinning it as pro-Turk nationalist propaganda.

Wouldn't it make more sense to restart Rome as series? You could eventually work your way to Byzantium on the back of that.

what are some good ancient egyptian kinos?
Owen Garcia
I really can't think of any. The closest would be the Prince of Egypt, though that's obviously more of a religious movie than a history piece
Julian Turner
Since Constantine continued worshipping the Sun God until 318 or 319, the series should start after that.
