Byzantium, the heir of the Roman Empire, is an excellent example of the multiethnic state of the medieval Europe. The multiethnic Byzantium was based on the Roman law, Christian faith and Greek culture, and the inhabitants of the Empire considered themselves as the legal successors of the civium Romanorum. The Byzantine, that is “Romei”, was officially every resident confessing the orthodox religion and belonging to the Christian Greek culture. Nevertheless, the question remains as to whether the Byzantine word “Romei” refers to the general concern only, devoid of any ethnic element.

Византия, наследник Римской империи, является отличным примером многоэтнического государства средневековой Европы. Многоэтническая Византия основывалась на римском праве, христианском вероисповедании и греческой культуре, а жители Империи считали себя законными преемниками civium Romanorum. Византийцем, то есть ромеем, официально был каждый житель, признающий ортодоксальное вероисповедание и принадлежащий к христианско-греческой культуре. Тем не менее открытым остаётся вопрос – имел ли в Византии этноним «ромей» исключительно упомянутое общественное значение, без этнического оттенка.

After the turbulent events of 1204 and after gaining the power by the Latins in Constantinople, Nicaea was supposed to become the center of post-Byzantine world as the capital of a country newly created by Theodore I Laskaris. It definitely fulfilled all the conditions to become the most significant town in the north-west­ern part of Asia Minor. The sovereigns from the Laskaris dynasty supported its development as well, although it must be emphasized that it was not the only cen­ter of their country. Next to Nicaea both Magnesia and Nymphaion need to be mentioned. Nicaea became an important cultural and scientific center of the new empire. Nevertheless, it was not an exceptional place as the distinguished represen­tatives of Byzantine scientific and cultural world lived also permanently in other towns (also in those towns which were under the Latins’ rule). What is more, the educational system of Nicaea was criticized (e.g. George – Gregory II of Cyprus). The last but one emperor, Theodore II Laskaris (1254-1258), tried to make Nicaea the only center of Byzantine Greeks country. Nevertheless, as early as three years after his death the Byzantine Greeks regained Constantinople, the real capital of the world, and Nicaea again became the center of secondary importance.
