Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most importantly, the strength of the Eastern Empire served to divert Barbarian invasions to the West. Emperors like Constantine ensured that the city of Constantinople was fortified and well guarded, but Italy and the city of Rome-which only had symbolic value for many in the East-were left vulnerable.
