The Byzantine Commonwealth: Eastern Europe 500–1453 by Dimitri Obolensky is a historical study of the cultural and political influence of the Byzantine Empire on Eastern Europe, arguing that Byzantium created a shared “commonwealth” of Orthodox Christian states that were shaped by its religion, law, art, and diplomacy from 500 to 1453; it examines how this influence extended to regions such as the Balkans and Russia and persisted even after the fall of Constantinople.
