INVITATION to Join:

The Monogram of Christ seen as a vision by Constantine the Great prior to the Milvian Bridge battle at the River Tiber and his victory against Rome in 312 A.D.

 

Although public sentiment has on various occasions favored the revival of Byzantium as a contemporary political entity;
NEW BYZANTIUM differs in that it considers Byzantium a historical ornament.  In a major way during its time, Byzantium
caused the development and expansion of Western Civilization at least in Europe and as a later consequence in The Americas.


It is fitting at the present time for all like-minded persons to stand united in view of serious and destructive challenges thrust
upon the Western world.  NEW BYZANTIUM, now more than ever, extends its long-standing invitation for positive
assistance from talented, knowledgeable, courageous, and competent individuals to share in the task.

[Award of titles, decorations and the like are unrelated functions.]


The activity endures and embraces the spirit of Constantine the Great, chief defender under the symbol of his vision displayed above.

Expansion of Western Civilization: from Constantine the Great to Constantinople and Byzantium and onward to America

NEW BYZANTIUM is The AMERICAS
 We are sincerely pleased you have come to visit our Site and we extend to you our warmest greeting in the highest tradition of BYZANTIUM.  Our Principal goal is to impart to you heretofore intentionally little known facts about BYZANTIUM as the foundation of Western Civilization.  We will avoid knowingly withholding the truth as an aim to social disorientation.  Practice of historical deception must cease.  We hope that you will enjoy our contribution to the fullest.  Welcome.
Constantine the Great began his eventful climb in York, England and reached the apex of his achievement in Constantinople, the City that he founded and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city] =Constantinople).  By means of these pages, our readers travel through time, touching upon the early periods, including that of Constantine, of historical Constantinople, and of Hagia Sophia—the nexus of the Christian world—to arrive at places and events of our present day.  Our readers reach the outermost limit to which both Eastern and Western Christian groups expanded, bringing forth the flower of Western Civilization.  That limit is the Western Hemisphere as a whole, and in particular the coast of California near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge where the two groups converged  as they approached from the North and from the South.
