Byzantine, Rome and Ravenna (roughly 6th Century)
Curious topic I've been wondering over for a while but I'll let the fans decide. Who do guys think the Byzantine empire should be?
And Why?
Greece?
Original Character?
–In the case it's not Greece, what family ties do you think they have between Ancient Greece and modern Greece? (As well as Rome). Do you think they were Greece's older sibling? Rome's and mother Greece's child? Rome's sibling? Ancient Greece's sibling? You can expand with Ottoman/Turkey if you want.
–In case it's Greece, should that actually make him older than Ottoman/Turkey? (Then his chibi version wouldn't make sense). This one may be conflicting because I heard the rumor (not sure if canon) that Ottoman killed ancient Greece and adopted modern Greece, but that's assuming Greece was still a child... when he was supposedly an empire as strong as Byzantine? I don't think it makes sense for an empire to be interpreted as a child.
–Should they be a woman or man?
You just know Lovino was a mama's boy

prompted by my incredibly niche interest for bulgarian - byzantine - ottoman relations during the medieval ages : here’s a messy timeline ft. the big three powers on the balkans between the 13 - 14th century !
Do you remember anything about Byzantine?
"Oh do I remember Byzantine alright. Speaking of which, he's the one who taught me to swim."
