The Byzantine empire, all that is left of the old Roman empire, meets one foe after another in a desperate struggle for survival. Having held back the Persians she is now about to meet her eventual nemesis, the Arabs!

The game 'Byzantium' deals with the rise of the Muslim Caliphate and its war with the Byzantine Empire. Your role as a player is to take a stake in each side and outwit your opponents to secure your own personal victory.
