Answer:

The modern-day Eastern Orthodox Church is the second largest Christian church in the world. In addition, Byzantine art from this period had a strong influence on the later painters of the Italian Renaissance.

Overall, the Byzantine empire has had a wide ranging influence over eastern and even western Mediterranean culture: modern Greece, the Orthodox Church, ancient Greek learning, Muslim and Slavic culture, and more.
