The Papal States did not exist when the Eastern Romans (or Byzantines, as historians call them) ruled the Exarchate of Ravenna in central Italy. The Papal States were formed after he Byzantines left central Italy and covered the territory of the Former Exarchate of Ravenna. Prior to this, Rome was in the Duchy of Rome, which was part of the Exarchate of Ravenna and which was headed by a dux, a Byzantine imperial official. There was often conflict between the popes and the Byzantines who were in charge in Rome. This was because the Byzantine emperor often interfered with politics in Rome or tried to impose his will on the bishop of Rome (the pope). This was aggravated by the fact that the Byzantine emperor was the head of the Orthodox Church, while the pope was the head of the Catholic Church and the two churches were at times at odds with each other. The Exarchate of Ravenna became increasingly unable to respond to attacks by the Lombards. Some of these attacks concerned the Duchy of Rome.
