Question

what was one major cultural achievement of the eastern roman empire?
select an answer
a. the revival of ancient greek architecture
b. the preservation of roman law and ancient greek texts
c. the promotion of pagan learning in athens
d. the patronage of female artists

Explanation:

The Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) was crucial in preserving Roman law (e.g., Justinian's Code) and ancient Greek texts. These texts were later important for the Renaissance. Ancient Greek architecture wasn't revived here (A is wrong). Pagan learning was not promoted as the empire was Christian (C is wrong). Patronage of female artists wasn't a major cultural achievement compared to the preservation of law and texts (D is wrong).

Answer:

B. the preservation of Roman law and ancient Greek texts
