Byzantine Empire is a term coined by historians to indicate the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 AD). The Romans did not use this term.
This name has been chosen as a reference to the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became Greek in character as it lost most of its non-Greek territories to invaders and became centred on Greece Greek replaced Latin as the official language of the empire in 620. The term is derived from Byzantium, the name of Constantinople before it was redeveloped and turned into the capital of the eastern part of the empire in 330. Byzantium had been founded by Greeks.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire continued to exist until 1453. During 'Byzantine' this period there were 87 emperors.
