  • Claims to be legal successor to the Romaic Tsar-Grad empire after capture of Tsar-Grad in the Trojan war
    • As a consequence there appeared several states which considered themselves the legal successors of Romea.
      • For example, Empire of Nicaea. Ancient Nicaea is the modern town of Iznik in Turkey.
        • Other kingdoms also appeared. One of them was Vladimir and Suzdal Russia with its capital Rostov Veliky (Rostov the Great), and later in Yaroslavl = Novgorod. Here arrived the Trojan king Aeneas, whose ancestors, as it happens, originally came from Russia. In the Russian chronicles king Aeneas reflected as the famous 'variag' ('Varangian') Ryurik. He unites isolated Russian dominions into a united kingdom [\Uffffffff\u041e\u0420] Thus the first czars of Vladimir and Suzdal (at first Rostov and Novgord ones) were the heirs of the Romaic dynasty driven out of Czar-Grad in the beginning of the XIII century. They began their fight to restore the Empire. Aeneas-Ryurik succeeded in creating a powerful multinational state, which initially included encompassed the Volga Region and North Black Sea Region. Ample manpower, horse and economic resources proved to be sufficient to achieve the world dominance by military means. In the XIV century Ivan Daniilovich Kalita started the Western campaign, i.e. 'Mongolian' = great conquest. It is possible that the name 'Kalita' is one of forms of a famous title of Calif or Khalif.
