‘’To have another language is to possess a second soul.’’ said Charlemagne‚ which may sound like a cliché but is actually very accurate.

What I like about the Byzantine Empire is that they believe in god and that for a nation/empire can last 1000 years while you are surrounded by enemies that hate your guts.
