No, Rome was split by Emperor Constantine. The East, and the West. The Byzantine empire was in the west. After the fall of Rome, the Byzantine Empire never held much western real estate due to the constant warring and eventual invention of cannons. They had a good run though, and particularly impressive defensive capabilities around Constantinople (Istanbul today)....but I digress.

Basically, if you read the wikipedia article you will have a pretty good answer to your question. Pretty simple stuff.
