And somewhere behind the Greek guy there's Cyrillic scribing down furiously

[โ€“] NIB 4 points 1 day ago

Cyrillic was literally byzantine propaganda, an effort by the Eastern Roman Empire(aka Byzantine Empire) to culturally assimilate/approach the slavs, in hopes for them to be friendlier to the Empire. Language and religion were the thing back then(and even today), having a similar language and religion made everyone friendlier.

Diplomacy, espionage, bribery, trading and huge ass walls were the strength of the Eastern Roman Empire.
