You should say eastern Romans or Byzantines, not east Byzantines. The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, which crumbled under the weight if 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 have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not use this term and called it Roman Empire.

The fall of the western part of the empire must have had a psychological impact on the eastern part. It must have been a shock, even though the 'fall' occurred over decades. However, it did not impact on the east economically. The "Byzantine" Empire remained prosperous. Its political, administrative and religious arrangements continued as before. In 533-554 the Emperor Justinian I set out to retake the lands lost by the fallen western part of the Roman Empire. He succeeded in retaking Italy, Tunisia, eastern Algeria and southern Spain. These campaigns probably reflected the psychological impact of the fall of the western part of the empire. There were also economic gains from re-conquest. However, by 568 the gains in Europe were lost. In 639-42 Egypt, traditionally a part of the "Byzantine" Empire, was lost to the Arabs. By 669 the Arabs also took over Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
