Reasons why the Byzantine Empire was a safe place to live:
First of all, the Byzantine empire was situated in a piece of straight land, so they could easily build fortified walls around the empire. There were two layers of walls, one protecting an outside core and the other protecting the capital and the city itself from the shore. The wall surrounding the shore also protected from water/naval invasions, also with the help of Greek Fire, which was a chemical that burned when in contact with water. Plus, the Byzantine Empire's army would position themselves on top of the walls on the shore and throw the fire at invaders' ships.
The Byzantine Empire was also a peninsula, which invaders could only attack from a part in the Western side, which was also protected by the gigantic walls. Plus, the empire had one of the most powerful naval army's.
