typo in the lateral bar: how do I correct it?[edit]

There is a typo in the byzantine culture lateral bar: the second item is mispelled as aristocracy and bureaucacy instead than of course aristocracy and bureaucracy. I would correct it myself but I don't know how to modify a lateral bar. Would anybody be so kind to help? Thank you. Ekrenor 15:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the spelling. That lateral bar is called a template. It can be edited here: Template:Byzantine_culture Kingnosis 17:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanics of diplomacy[edit]

I Can't find the sources. However, The Byzantine's would attach a diplomat to every type of outpost and you could never reject this. This led to severe control. Ultimately, they had no money to back up this system with an attack and when many were removed this hollow structure was exposed. I understood that what I have described as "Byzantine Diplomacy" - the type and style of assigning a minder (and bluff). ItsACityOfApes (talk) 19:20, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
