It was the Greco Roman culture
The Byzantine Empire is often called the "preserver" of Greco Roman Heritage, because it was influenced so heavily by Greek and Roman culture. The official language of the Byzantine Empire was Greek and the government was strongly based off of Roman Law. The Byzantine Empire also used Greek and Roman culture to influence the creation of its Church and its magnificent Art & Architecture. By using all these Greco Roman values and parts of society, the Byzantine Empire was able to "preserve" Greek and Roman heritage.
