Devastatio Constantinopolitana

Course Description

Course Description: Long considered to be impregnable behind its high landward walls and its protection by the sea, Constantinople was finally taken by force in April 1204. The attackers were not the forces of the near East, who had long been a threat to the Byzantine Empire, but rather Europeans Crusaders who promptly put the city to the sack. The effects of the Sack are still ricocheting down the centuries. This anonymous account of the attack and the Sack provides eyewitness testimony to this pivotal moment in history Level: Intermediate to Advanced Latin reading Textbook: Instructor will provide materials
