For all who believe it is time for modern scholarship to shed the foreign, archaic, culturally degrading, completely ahistorical term "Byzantine" as the de facto label of the East Roman Empire from the mind and future school books. For the sake of not only the truth but for the sincere desire in understanding our past.
Members pledge to refrain from the use and application of the word "Byzantine" or "Byzantium" in association with the Medieval Greco-Roman Empire or its capital city properly known as Constantinople the 'Roma Nova'
Together we shall start a movement, a call for change by promoting the correct usage of 'Roman' and 'Greco-Roman' as it applies to the 'Eastern Orientation' of late antiquity and the middle ages.
