The Orthodox continuation of the Roman Empire, known as the Byzantine Empire, expanded significantly through victorious crusades in both east and west. Their culture was shaped by Greek civilization and their language was Greek. The Byzantines preserved and copied classical manuscripts and are therefore known as intermediaries of classical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chess Pieces\u003cbr\u003eThe figures of the chess pieces are inspired by the royal family of the Macedonian dynasty, one of the greatest dynasties in the Byzantine Empire. This dynasty included some of the most prominent emperors in Byzantium's history, such as Basil I \"the Macedonian\" (King) and Leo VI called \"the Wise\" or the Philosopher (Knight). The period is characterized by revival and resurgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eWooden box with storage\u003cbr\u003eManopoulos gift box\u003cbr\u003eChessboard: Brass\u003cbr\u003eChess pieces: Zinc alloy\u003cbr\u003eWooden box: Laminated wood\u003cbr\u003eColor: Blue\u003cbr\u003eKing's height: 3.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eChessboard dimensions: 20 x 20 cm\u003cbr\u003eThis chess set is not just a game, but also a work of art that can be displayed in your home or office.
