Puzz... What's interesting about the Byzantines is that they lasted so long as a diminishing empire. It's a long record of simply struggling to hold on to what they had, not expansion. The term 'Byzantine' as used to describe convoluted exercises derives from their use of bribery, deception, and espionage to a very high degree in holding at bay their adversaries. <p></p><i></i>
