No. Byzantium was an Ancient Greek city. When the Roman Empire took it over, it was renamed Nova Roma (New Rome) and later renamed Constantinople (after its Roman founder). Today this city is known as Istanbul.
When the Roman Empire fell, the eastern portion stayed in tact. This became known as the Byzantine Empire, named for the Ancient Greek city.
