Sorry, but you've been caught out again. These are not Byzantine ships, but the ships of an imagi-nation – "New Byzantium". In fact I don't think they are even models but just pictures of appropriate ships. Sorry to disappoint you … |

Oh!. Margard… I always be caught…Ha!Ha!.

I put "Byzantines" because the page is mostly about that period. No, it's not about the Byantine period. The Byzantine Empire ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The site is a re-imagining of "New Byzantium" where a new state is formed with the decline of the Ottoman Empire. link Try reading a site a bit more carefully before you post about it. Of course it helps if you know the real history so you can tell the truth from the fiction! |

How amiable this board is becoming!
I did not known this 'Pirates' board was affiliated to the pedantic nit-picking "Shako & Stovepipe" forum. Anyway a 18th C.'revived' country seeing itself as the successor of the Empire that had Constantinople / Byzantium for capital could not call itself as 'Roman' since there already was the 'Holy Roman Empire'…
I'm still to discover a book on Ancient-Medieval armies using 'Romanian' rather than 'Byzantine' when referring to the…, well, armies of Byzantium.
Laisse couler et ignore, Armand, tu es mal tombé, c'est tout.

Mon ami Jean Louis ne pense pas que je remarque sur la "chasse" qui est sur mon spéciaux?
Il faudrait que je profite de cette phrase malheureuse: «… vous avez été pris à nouveau …" comme s'il s'agissait d'une chasse aux sorcières, criminelles ou peu recommandables, mais cette "police" volontairement des patrouilles aux frontières de la xénophobie ne va pas arriver à quelque chose de plus de montrer ce qu'ils sont.
Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien.

Au contraire, mon ami Armand. Ce n'est pas la première fois que vous avez fait des hypothèses d'un site. Prenez juste le temps pour lire un site soigneusement avant le fait de poster quelque chose ce qui vous fait sembler bête. |
