The Roman Catholic Church began when early Christians took the teaching of Jesus to Rome from Jerusalem. St. Peter traveled to Rome after founding other churches. As the chief of the Apostles, he knew that his mission was to take the church to the center of the Roman Empire, which at that time ruled the world. St Paul also traveled to Rome. Both were martyred in Rome.
The Church stayed essentially an underground Church until Constantine became the ruler of the Roman empire and decreed that Christianity would be the official religion of the Roman Empire.
The Byzantine churches were founded by the Apostles and developed at the same time as the Roman church. The beliefs are the same and the liturgy is the same in all ways except externals. The Byzantine Church has a more Eastern Oriental flavor.
Roman Catholic Note:Please note that the Byzantine Rite Churches were split in two in the 11th century, and the half that stayed with Rome are technically Roman Byzantine Rite Churches. Mainly people use the word "Roman" to mean the Latin Rite Church, that is incorrect, "Roman" Catholic includes all Rites of the Church including the Latin, Antiochene, Alexandrine, and Gallican, which are the four parent Rites, so it would include the Byzantine Rite Churches still in union with Rome.

What is the difference between orthodox and byzantine churches?
Some byzantine churches are Orthodox. And some Orthodox churches are byzantine. Other than that, there's no difference. There are Roman Catholic churches which follow the byzantine form of worship, since they ceased being Orthodox in the 1400-1700s but retained their liturgical practices. And there are plenty of Orthodox parishes which have never followed byzantine norms for worship (Russian, for example, or in some places, Western Rite, especially when an entire Anglican or Roman Catholic congregation has become Orthodox). If you hear someone generically refer to "THE Byzantine Church," they are probably referring generically to the Orthodox Church, giving credence to its roots in Greek thought, culture, and language.
The meaning of orthodox church?

The Byzantine Empire continued the cultural traditions of the Romans primarily through its preservation and adaptation of Roman law and governance.

Additionally, Byzantine art and architecture drew heavily from Roman styles, exemplified by the use of domes and mosaics in churches, thereby maintaining a visual continuity with Roman aesthetic traditions.
