The History of Ibiza - Dominique Sanson

IX - Byzance

VIII - The Vandals	X - The Moors I

The Eastern part of the fallen Roman Empire becomes the main economic power in the Mediterranean. The most important city is Constantinople, now Istanbul, and the Emperor Constantine becomes the first Christian emperor.

A successor Justinian after defeating the Vandal Empire captures Ibiza with his fleet in 535 A.D. You can see bishops and priests arriving on the island and converting the population.

Some scholars discuss the true nature of the essence of Jesus Christ. In the countryside life goes on as usual.
