What empire lasted almost 1000 years after splitting from the western roman empire?
For the Romans it was the Roman Empire. This is how the Romans called it, they had no other terms. Historians have invented the terms Eastern Roman Empire for the eastern part and Western Roman Empire for the western part. Byzantine Empire has been coined in reference to the eastern part of the empire after the fall of the west. The word Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was later turned into Constantinople. It had been chosen to highlight the fact that within just over a century after the fall of the west it assumed a Greek character. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620.
What development is most closely associated with the beginning of the Byzantine Empire?
The word Byzantine has been coined by modern historians. The Romans did not use it. It refers to the Eastern Roman Empire of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. It outlasted the Western Roman Empire, which is said to have fallen in 476, and continued until 1453. The word Byzantine is related to Byzantium, the original Greek settlement which had been turned into the capital of the east under the name of Constantinople. Since the Roman/Byzantine distinction is a modern convention, there is not a date which gives a cut-off point. The word has been used in writings about the reign of Justinian I (527-565) who reconquered most of westerner Mediterranean coast that had been lost during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Heraclius (reigned 610-641) radically changed the administration and army of the empire and changed the official language of the Empire from Latin to Greek. At one level, the word Byzantine when employed in relation to the 6th century is often used interchangeably with the term Eastern Roman Empire as the term empire of the east starts to become redundant as the western empire ceased to exist. At another level, it refers to the Empire of the east becoming centred around Greece, the Greek language (though Latin was still used) and Greek art. The empire's loss of its non-Greek territories in the Middle East south of Turkey of Egypt to the Arab invaders in the early 7th century facilitated this development. The loss of control over Italy with Charlemagne's takeover of Italy in 774 severed the empire's links with the west, which made the use of the word Roman redundant. Thus, we are talking about a process of gradual change.
What empire split from the western roman empire that would exist until 1453?
This empire has been called the Byzantine Empire by historians, not the Romans themselves, who only had one term: Roman Empire. The Roman Empire did not split. What happened was that the western part of the empire fell under the weight of the Germanic invasions, while the east was not touched by these invasions and continued to exist until 1543. As mentioned, the Romans only had one term: Roman Empire. All other terms, Western Roman Empire, Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire have been coined by historians. The terms Western and Eastern Roman Empire refer to the fact that emperor Diocletian created a co-emperorship with an emperor in the west and one in the east. This was done to improve the defence of the vast frontiers of the empire which had been under frequent attack in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Milan became the imperial capital in the west and Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) the imperial capital in the east (Constantine I then moved it to Constantinople). These cities were closer to the troubled frontiers than Rome. Rome became only the nominal capital of the whole empire. Diocletian made it clear that there was only one empire. Byzantine Empire is the term used by historians to indicate the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It is used with reference to the fact that when this empire lost most of its non-Greek territories it became centred on Greece and Greek in character. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620. This was only about 150 years after the fall of the west. The word Byzantine is derived from Byzantium the name of an originally Greek city before it was redeveloped and called Constantinople.
What is one major difference between the Byzantine Empire and the Western Roman Empire?
None. The Byzantine empire was the eastern part of the Roman empire. The people there considered themselves Roman just as the people in Italy considered themselves Roman. Culturally, the Byzantine part of the empire was more Greek orientated than the western.
Who coined the word ancient?
It came into use in the mid 14th century from a French word 'auncyen' from the old Latin word 'anteanus'. In history is means 'belonging to the time before the fall of the Western Roman Empire'
What is the connection between the barbarians and the western roman empire?
The relevance of the Germanic barbarians was that they invaded the western part of the Roman Empire, took over most of its lands and carved it up, each forming their own kingdom. Therefore, their actions led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. Barbarian was a word the Romans borrowed from the Greeks. It basically means foreigners and had the derogatory tone of uncivilised. It expressed the view that foreigners were uncivilised. To the Romans the barbarians were all the people who lived outside the Roman Empire. The barbarians who were relevant the western part of the Roman Empire were the Germanic peoples who lived north of the Roman Empire and two Germanic peoples who had been allowed to settle in parts of the Roman Empire by the Romans (the Franks and the Visigoths). Two Germanic peoples, the Vandals and the Sueves, and an Iranian-speaking people, the Alans, invaded Gaul, which was part of the western part of the Roman Empire. They then moved to Spain and north-western Africa. Spain was, in turn taken over by the Visigoths who moved from the eastern part of the Roman Empire, where they had been allowed to settle, to south-western France and then to Spain. Another Germanic people, the Burgundians, settled in eastern France and another one took over north-eastern France and Switzerland. The Franks expanded from their base in Holland south of the River Rhine and Belgium, where they had been allowed to settle into northern and central France. The angles and the Saxons from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland migrate to Britain in waves and eventually took over this island. Eventually, the Germanic barbarians took over the lands of the western part of the Roman empire and former their own kingdoms in tis former lands.

What is the difference between western Europe and the byzantine?
The Byzantine Empire was the eastern part of the Roman Empire that carried on after the fall of Rome. Western Europe was the area that was where the fall of Rome happened. During this time, the Byzantine Empire was conquering and prospering while the West was in chaos. The West was in chaos because the Roman Empire was in control for 1,000 years and it just suddenly collapsed due to Barbaric attacks. The east, however, was able to keep stable throughout the madness and went on to rule for another 1,000 years.
