How were ther roman and byzantine empires connected?
Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part.
What was the division of Rome and the formation of the Byzantine Empire?
The Roman Emperor Constantine I the Great divided the Roman Empire to the west Roman Empire and the east Roman Empire and moved his capital city from Rome to the ancient Greek city of Byzantium which was renamed as New Rome. After Constantine's death his successors renamed the city as Constantinople, a name that survived its conquest by the Ottomans, until 1923 AD.
How the Byzantine empire was the new Rome?
New Rome was one of the titles given to the city of Constantinople (present day Istanbul). The titles were "Roma Constantiniana," "The Eastern Rome." the "New, Second Rome" and "Alma Roma." The emperor Constantine the Great designated the city of Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it and renamed it after himself (Constantinople means City of Constantine). It was inaugurated in 330. As for the so-called "Byzantine" Empire, it was the continuation of the Roman Empire. The term Byzantine was coined by a German historian in the 16th century to indicate the people of the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire, which continued to exist for nearly another 1,000 years. The terms Byzantine and Byzantine Empire became common in Western Europe in the 19th century. The people in question did not know these terms and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore the so-called Byzantine Empire is the Roman Empire of period from the fall of the western part of this empire in 476 to the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks (1543) who had already taken over what had remained of this empire (other parts of this empire had already fallen to the Slavs, Arabs and Seljuk Turks earlier). The term Byzantine was chosen as a derivation from Byzantium, the city which redeveloped as Constantinople and which had originally been a Greek city. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, this part of the 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 western part.
