Under [[Theodosius I]] (r. 379–395), Christianity became the Empire's official [[state religion]] and [[Christian persecution of paganism under Theodosius I|other religious practices were proscribed]]. Finally, under the reign of [[Heraclius]] (r. 610–641), the Empire's military and administration were restructured and adopted Greek for official use instead of Latin. Thus, although the Roman state continued and Roman state traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from [[ancient Rome]] insofar as it was centered on Constantinople, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture, and characterized by [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christianity]].</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">The borders of the Empire evolved significantly over its existence, as it went through several cycles of decline and recovery. During the reign of [[Justinian I]] (r. 527–565), the Empire reached its greatest extent after reconquering much of the historically Roman western [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean coast]], including North Africa, Italy, and Rome itself, which it held for two more centuries. During the reign of [[Maurice (emperor)|Maurice]] (r. 582–602), the Empire's eastern frontier was expanded and the north stabilised. However, his assassination caused the [[Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628]], which exhausted the Empire's resources and contributed to major territorial losses during the [[Muslim conquests]] of the seventh century. In a matter of years the Empire lost its richest provinces, Egypt and Syria, to the Arabs.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">During the [[Macedonian dynasty]] (10th–11th centuries), the Empire again expanded and experienced the two-century long [[Macedonian Renaissance]], which came to an end with the loss of much of Asia Minor to the [[Seljuq dynasty|Seljuk Turks]] after the [[Battle of Manzikert]] in 1071.
