    Byzantium was a very rich greek city founded by greek colonists in the time around 700 BCE; therefore byzantine opulence.

    A kept woman would have been a concubine, one of a sort of harem, kept in luxury.

    Why don't you just read the whole book and look up what you don't know on Google. If you look it up yourself, your rentention of the subject will be better

    Could you have been more resourceful instead of using the name 'bieber' for your screen name ?
