Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire is a fictionalized version of the real life Enoch Lewis Johnson (who shares the nickname of Nucky). Johnson was a Atlantic City, New Jersey politician and racketeer throughout the Roaring Twenties. The HBO series accurately portrays Nucky's influence in Atlantic City as Thompson was a avid philanthropist.

What important change occured in the byztine empire after the fall of roman empire in the west?

Byzantine Empire is a term coined by modern historians to refer to the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The term is derived from Byzantium, the name of the Greek city which was later turned into Constantinople. It is used to indicate the fact that within just over a century this empire became Greek in character. This empire lost most of its non-Greek territories (in Asia and Egypt to the Arabs and in the Balkan Peninsula to the Slavs) and became centred on Greece. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620.


What empire was originally part of the roman empire?

There was no empire which was originally part of the Roman Empire. It could look like the Byzantine Empire was originally part of the Roman Empire, but it was not. It was always the Roman Empire. Byzantine Empire is a term coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire in 476. The Romans themselves did not use this term. They just had the term Roman Empire. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for another 1,000 years after the fall of the western part. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the name of the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.
