Byzantine Empire went through two periods which historians have called Byzantine Iconoclasm (726-787 and 814-842) when the use of religious images or icons was opposed by religious and imperial authorities. Religious themes were not allowed and were replaced with secular ones. Imagery as such was not an issue. However, especially considering that religious themes were dominant in the Middle Ages, artists found themselves with a very restricted number of subjects. As a result, some artists produced paintings which did not represent something recognisable as what is seen in the everyday life and concentrated on visual effects. Some of these works anticipated some aspects of modern abstract art.

Why was there a loss of common language in the roman empire?
There wasn't. The empire was so large, that it was split in half, the western empire and the eastern (Byzantine). The Byzantine empire lasted till 1492. In both empires, Greek was considered an elite language, just like speaking French or Italian was in the American colonies in the 1700's. Most Roman libraries had two sections- one section in Latin and one in Greek. The Byzantine empire used Greek as the main language after the Western empire broke apart in 476. Vandals from the north came into Italy and took it over, crowning them the emperor of rome. Later on, a great king from France, Charles the Great, formed a new empire, the Frankish empire, and named himself Emperor. At this time, the Latin in territories evolved. Modern English, called Germanic, is 40% Germanic and 50% Latin. French, Italian, Sicilian, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese all have evolved from original latin. Sicilian and Romanian are the least evolved from Latin. Don't forget that most modern Europeans speak several languages.
