This pile of shit was NOT Roman, period. IT was not second rome. Second rome was Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire was literally Roman Republic. This pile of shit (Byzantine Empire) was just a province of actual Roman Empire just as how it was a province of Ottoman Empire.

Yes it was you fucking Turk subhuman

> Second rome was Ottoman Empire

Yeah no, fuck off you disgsuting roach, your useless "empire" lasted less and was over all shitty and backward compared to Europe, just kill yourself, you ruined Greece and the Balkans, you inbred turds

Also ntice that how Ottoman Empire controlled Roman places (Levantine, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Romania and Northern Africa) but Byzantines did not

>empire's official name is "Imperium Romanum"
>is not the true successor to the Roman Empire

LARPing as Roman doesn't mean you're Roman. Byzantine Empire called themselves Roman in Greek language not in LATIN (ROMAN) language

Turkey is a shithole that has never contributed anything worthwhile to human civilization. Please KYS.

>Literally Europe's Mexico

Why would they continue speaking latin though?

Because Latin was the language of Roman Empire? retard
See Byzantines are not Roman they're Greek but Ottomans were Roman

So you mean that Greek was not spoken during the age of the Roman Empire? Are you retarded?
>but Ottomans were Roman
Oh, what am I asking?

>holy roman empire
>democratic people's republic of korea

>b-but some faggots spoke Greek
who cares?

Fuck you turk scum
Fuck turkey worst country ever fuck to you and your family and religion and abortion of country
Fuck you

>all the ruling and wealthy class spoke greek and studied ancient greek
>some faggots
You have it the other way around. The romans were LARPing as greeks

>people falling for this obvious bait thread

>but Ottomans were Roman

more like Romani

We know its bait but we just love talking about the roman empire

He may be butthurt about the contributions of the islamic cultures being historically downplayed.

Don't get it twisted. The T*rks were roleplaying as greeks too.

I know, even modern Greeks are LARPing as Greeks, and I say it as a Greek.

It was really only spoken in the west, retard. In the Eastern provinces Greek was the lingua franca with Latin only being used as an administrative language.

Oops. This was meant for

wasn't there a german historian that came with the radical idea that there are no more "real" greeks, that actually relate to the ancient ones?

>Second rome was Ottoman Empire.
Stopped reading right there.

Yes, Fallmerayer, even though his justification was not totally right.
Ancient Greeks were probably mass-substituted after being conquered by the Romans. There's no reason to think that the Slavs wiped out the local populations when they came to the Balkans.

He's right though, the """"Byzantine Empire"""" wasn't the second Rome, it was just Rome

it's been 2000+ years, they're closeish enough.

>Baiting this hard
Wew Mehmet

>Roach claiming the Ottoman Empire was the successor to Rome while also claiming Byzantium wasn't Rome.

But how?

...

Their stupidity has no limits.

Before 1453 the capital of Rome was in Saxony.

are you actually retarded
