You may not find total agreement on this answer, but I would have it begin in the year 476 with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Byzantines did not call themselves Byzantines any more than the ancient Greeks called themselves Greeks. The Byzantine Empire is modern nomenclature to avoid confusion with the Eastern Roman Empire after the Roman Empire was divided, but before the Western Roman Empire fell.
