This website will look at Byzantine education, specifically between 400 and 600AD. At the beginning of this period Christian and Pagan teachings were taught side by side in educational institutions. However, by 600AD Pagan teachings were eliminated from schools due to Emperor Justinian’s legislation against the practice. The website will explore what was taught in educational facilities at the beginning of this period, Justinian’s legislation that banned pagan education, and the effect this legislation had on Byzantine education.
