The Byzantine EMpire was a monarchy.

It litrally for about 500 years part of the Roman Empire, just known as the Eastern Roman Empire. When the Capital was moved to Byzantium, and when the wesrtern regions fell (ROme, France, Spain) it changed its name from the Roman Empire to the Byzantine Empire with its capital at Constantinople.

Even though it is an Empire, a monarchy, it was ruled greaty also by the doctrine and laws of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Patriarch centered in the Agia Sophia (St Sophia) church in Byzantium. It was not ruled by the church to the extent of the Catholic states, but more on a guiding level rathern then politically.
