Well, i was very-very late for Civilization: Lost#Found challenge, but i still want to finish this project.
I've chose Byzantine Empire - and the very end of second iconoclasm period, when icons and any depictions of Jesus Christ and saints were forbidden.
Here is first "villain" character - Theophilos, the very last Emperor who supported iconoclasm. Honestly, history knows no heroes and villains, but in my story he is more like antagonist, furious, quick-tempered and paranoid person, only one man who is always right (in his opinion).
