The present article aims at making a study that can be inserted in the perspective of the historiographic approach entitled Global History, with emphasis on the Mediterranean history, and analysis of Byzantine Iconoclasm. We intend, therefore, to demonstrate its consequences for the Mediterranean in the VIII century, especially for the Romans and for the Arabs, since it is the period Constantinople was the main economic, religious and social center of the Mediterranean, because of its strategic position situated at the same time in Asia and in Europe. In this sense, we will expose how this event has changed not only the eastern part of the globe, that during that period had as main occurrencean Islamic expansion, but also the Western part, with the ancient Roman capital and Charlemagne's rise, through the notions of integration and disintegration.Downloads
