No, Rome was split by Emperor Constantine. The East, and the West. The Byzantine empire was in the west. After the fall of Rome, the Byzantine Empire never held much western real estate due to the constant warring and eventual invention of cannons. They had a good run though, and particularly impressive defensive capabilities around Constantinople (Istanbul today)....but I digress.
Basically, if you read the wikipedia article you will have a pretty good answer to your question. Pretty simple stuff.

How big is the Byzantine Empire?
The Byzantine empire was the Roman Empire minus the western part of this empire (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Holland south of the river Rhine, Germany west of the River Rhine, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Malta, England and Wales, and north-western Africa) Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.
