What impact did the macedonian empire have on the byzantine empire?

The Macedonian Empire existed and fell apart before the establishment of the Byzantine Empire, but that doesn't mean that these two empires don't have any connection, on the contrary, the Macedonian Empire actually contributed a lot to the development of the Byzantine Empire. As mentioned, the Macedonian Empire fell apart, or rather was conquered, but the Macedonian dynasties remained, and later their descendants. These Macedonians actually created a period known as the Macedonian Dynasty, which was a period in Byzantium when several Macedonian rulers were the emperors. These rulers of the Macedonian Dynasty were actually the ones that made Byzantium great and strong. They implemented lot of reforms, with the result being increase in the production of goods, stimulating greater demand, and encouraging trade, leading to economic boom. Also, the cities started to become larger, more beautiful, and better organized, while the population was also on the rise because of the improved living conditions. The education and knowledge were encouraged as well, so more and more of the population was becoming educated and had much better understanding of the world. This period is also referred to as the ''Macedonian Renaissance''.
