The western part of the Roman Empire disintegrated under the wight of the Germanic invasion. The eastern part of the empire was distant from these areas of invasions and was not affected by it.

Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians. The Romans called it Roman Empire. The term refers to the eastern part of the empire after the fall of the western part. It is used to indicate the fact that after it lost most of its non Greek territories (because of invasions by Arabs and Slavs) it became centred on Greece and Greek in character. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of the empire in 620.

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the name of the Greek city which was redeveloped and turned into the capital of the eastern part of the empire and renamed Constantinople.
