It's a fairly modern name for the East Roman Empire, which continued in existence until 1453.

A modern descriptor used to refer to the eastern half of the Roman Empire from the founding of Constantinople (named Nova Roma or new Rome, but the name Constantinople or City of Constantine stuck, so this is what it was called in later centuries) in 340 CE to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1451 CE. Interestingly, however, the the last remaining vestige of the Byzantine Empire to remain was the Empire of Trebizond, one of the splinter states formed after the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the fourth Crusade. It finally fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1461, making it the final vestige of Roman administration in the east.
