During the Early Middle Ages great Christian and Islamic empires surrounded the Mediterranean Sea. Byzantine Empire was mixture of Roman and Greek culture. Byzantines hoped that the common Latin language, the coinage, the international army, the law, the Christianty, and the Greco-Roman heritage would bring unity and peace to the Mediterranean world. Arabic writers have preserved a great deal of data regarding Muluku Rum, ie. The Byzantine Empire, the most interesting of all neighbouring countries for them. Besides Byzantium, appeared the Islamic Arabian caliphates with different heritage and culture. The period of the Abbasid Caliphat is known as the Islamic Golden Age. Another Muslim empire was founded in today’s Spain, the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba. The most important Arabic sources for the history of these empires are the works of Masudi, Tabari, Ibn Rusta, Al-Idrisi, Yahya ibn Sa’id from Antioch, Ibrahim ibn Ya’qub and Ibn Jubayr
