Byzantium is a world full of hustle, movement, wonders, mysteries, songs, celebrations, riches, battles, stories. A world full of colors. Red, like the purple of its emperors. Gold, like the backgrounds of the mosaics in its churches. Black, like the robes of its monks. White like the unknown lands beyond its borders. Blue like its sea and like the dresses of its noblewomen. Green like the crops in its vast spring fields. But not only that. Byzantium does NOT have only six colors. GREEN is the color that fears and hopes. It has the maps of distant places, which are still countless – and consistently the most beautiful on Earth. It has the journeys and dreams of merchants, who never tire. Green has the voices of the Hippodrome, which can elevate common people to the throne and topple real emperors. But it also has the silences of the corridors: the intrigues of the palace, the envious breaths, the glances of jealousy, which are never and nowhere satisfied. It has the scent of the living fairy tales, those who tell them live forever – and those who listen to them... they live even more. The green color has the scent of life.
