Summary/Abstract: The trait that defines the Byzantine diplomacy of the 6th-11th centuries is the missionary activity. Constantinople was in the twelfth century the most active center of the European diplomacy. Byzantium had a civilizing influence upon the barbaric states and the unity of the empire could be achieved by imprinting a common practicing of orthodoxy. The history of Byzantium represents a separate chapter in the European historiography, characterized by diversity and originality.
