Nice quiz. Maybe accept Black Death for Bubonic Plague? Also, I think that Greek was the primary language of the empire. I know that Justinian was the last emperor to speak Latin as a first language.

Thanks! Black Death is now accepted. Greek was the primary language but Latin was the official language. I changed the clue so it is more clear.

Actually it was Theodosius the Great who finally divided Roman Empire. Constantine divided it between his 3 sons, but after him it was united e.g. by Constantius II, Julian or Theodosius. And the Great Schism wasn't a result of iconoclasm, as it happened about 300 years after first edicts against icons

Actually greek WAS an official language of the Byzantine Empire( after 620 C.E.).

The Great Schism most certainly did not happen because of the Iconoclasm.

Finally "byzant" is a non-existent word, bezants were called the Eastern Roman coins in Western Europe, a more appropriate term for Byzantine coinage would be "Solidus".

Please check your sources!!!!

Schism didn't happen because icons were banned. Iconoclasm was the event.

Yeah, the schism was completely separate from iconoclasm.
