The term historians use for the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part is Byzantine Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire and 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 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.

There were not any names associated with these parts of the empire. The Romans just said the east and the west.

After ten years of civil war where did Constantine establish the capital of the Eastern Empire?

Constantine never had a thing to do with the "eastern" empire or the "western" empire. He moved the capital of the Roman empire to the eastern city of Constantinople. The connotation of eastern and western was not made by the ancients, but is a term invented by historians to clarify the part of the empire they would be writing about. The ancients considered the empire one, and they all considered themselves Roman.

It was not Rome which collapsed. It was the western part of the Roman Empire The conventional date set by historians for the end of the western part of the Roman Empire is 476. In this year the last emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus was deposed. The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians call it Byzantine Empire.

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).
