What is happening in Turkey in 500CE

In the century after 200 CE, Asia Minor experienced a taste of the chaos visited upon other parts of the Roman empire by Germanic invaders, but the 4^th century was again a period of renewed peace. The region achieved added prestige as a major centre of the new official religion of the empire, Christianity.

In the 5^th century, Asia Minor, with its large and wealthy cities, was one of the leading centres of Graeco-Roman civilization; however, the coming centuries would see big changes.
