The Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire. Byzantine 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 of this empire. The western part fell under the strain of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1000 years. With its capital being Constantinople, which was in Greece, after the fall of the west this empire became Greek in character. Greek replaced Latin as the official language.
