First of all it has to be noted that the Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire. 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 people in question did not even know this term and called it Roman Empire. The western part fell as a result of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
The western part of the Roman Empire (the territories in Western Europe, north-western Africa and much of south-eastern Europe) was influenced by the Latins, while the eastern one (the eastern Mediterranean) was influenced by the Greeks. The Greeks had established their Hellenistic states in the eastern Mediterranean long before the arrival of the Romans and their influence in the area persisted under the Roman Empire. In the west Latin was the lingua franca and in the east both Greek and Latin were the lingua franca. With the fall of the western part of the empire the east became even more Greek in Character. In the west Latin became the written language because the peoples who conquered this part of the empire did not have a written language.
The most important legacy of the Romans in the post-Roman period was Catholicism. The invaders of this part of the empire, apart from the Franks who were pagans, followed to the Arian doctrine of Christianity. Then they all converted to Catholicism. Catholicism spread to all of Western Europe through the work of missionaries and, in part, the conquests of Charlemagne. Christianity had spread though the Roman Empire and developed two main branches: the Latin or Western Church and the Greek of Eastern Church. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the empire and the latter was the main one in the eastern part. Later they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. Orthodox Christianity was the religion of the Byzantine Empire

Constantine I or (the Great) did not have any connection with the Byzantine Empire and the Byzantine Empire did not exist historically. Byzantine Empire is a term coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). According to dating conventions, the beginning of the Byzantine Empire was in 476. Constantine's reign as sole emperor of the whole Roman Empire (both the eastern and the western parts) was from 324 to 337, well before the period which historians call the Byzantine period. One indirect contribution he made was the creation of Constantinople, which later became the capital of the so-called Byzantine Empire, and the site he chose for it, which historians used the coin the term Byzantine. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by Constantine in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part, this 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 west.
It is when The Roman Catholic Church and The Eastern Orthodox Church had The Great Schism, in which The Roman Catholic Church broke off The Orthodox Church.
In the 9th century Swedish Vikings sailed from the Baltic Sea along rivers into Russia and the Ukraine and settled there. The Slaves called the Vikings Rus and they gave their name to Russia. From Russia the Vikings sailed into the Black Sea and they attacked the Byzantine Empire.
The Iconoclast Controversy, which erupted in the 8th century, had profound effects on the Byzantine Empire, leading to deep divisions within society and the church. It sparked intense theological debates over the use of religious icons, resulting in periods of iconoclasm where images were destroyed and those who venerated them faced persecution. This conflict weakened the unity of the empire, contributing to political instability and strife between different factions, including the clergy and the laity. Ultimately, the controversy shaped Byzantine identity and influenced its relations with both Western Christendom and Islamic states.
The crusades, originally intended to save the Byzantine Empire, among other things, failed to do this and hastened its decline instead. The crusaders sacked Byzantine cities and eventually captured Constantinople in 1204. They then used Constantinople as the capital of what is called the Latin Empire, which it remained, until the Byzantines managed to recapture it in 1264. The Byzantine Empire never really recovered from this, though it held on for almost another 200 years.

The Byzantine Empire affected Russia in many ways. One example is that the Russians converted all of the Slavs to Christianity. Another example is they adopted the Greek alphabet, and changed the Bibles into a Slavic Tongue. Russians soon accommodated aspects of the Byzantine Empire including art, architecture, and music. An example of architecture is their domes started to look like onions, which is a common architectural design throughout Russia.
