byzantine

A community for the history and genetics of the Eastern Mediterranean, with a core focus on the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) world, South Italy, Balkans, Greece, and Anatolia.

While our core is the East Mediterranean, we regularly cover Italy, Iberia, the Germanic world, the Levant, North Africa, Iran, Jewish populations, and more.
Whether you're here for the genetics, the history, or both, welcome in.

We work with population genetics tools like G25, qpAdm, and others, alongside serious historical discussion and educational resources.

Important: You must have a paid Minecraft account. Cracked accounts will not be accepted.

Byzantine politics meet Spanish architecture and military style—structured government, vibrant cities, and an unyielding will to endure. This nation is built for those who seek glory through discipline, tradition, and unity.

We’ll be playing in a massive 2,000-player Minecraft Civilization event—one focused heavily on roleplay, diplomacy, warfare, and nation-building.

This is not just a one-off server—it’s a living world where your choices shape history. If you're interested in joining us, check the event info and find the Discord link to learn more.
