â—˝REFORMER like
Antoninus Pius
â—˝TIME in power like
Augustus
Too bad he didn't have a son, and left the empire under his incompetent brother.
A phrase not heard often enough for my taste.

đźš© Basil II's persistent and successful war against a strong Bulgarian kingdom under its tsar Samuel established Eastern Roman Empire's domination over the Balkans after four hundred years of tribes and khanates dominating the region. In the east, he scored military victories against the Fatimids and Georgians, as well as extending the empire's influence into Armenia and Syria.
His frugal policies stabilized the treasury and the state, leaving the empire the strongest it has been in centuries, militarily and economically. But for all his achievements he neglected his duty of siring an heir to the throne. This two-hour video is a story about his reign.
