The eastern Roman Empire.
By Roman art we usually mean art from the Roman empire. When Emperor Constantine introduced Christianity as state religion, the center of the empire moved to Constantinople. After this we talk about Byzantine art which is mainly religious.
Abstraction
The art of the eastern and western parts of the Roman Empire were similar because in both parts of this empire it was Greco-Roman art. This is a term which indicates the fact that Roman art became heavily influenced by Greek art. Greek art had already influenced the eastern Mediterranean before it was taken over by the Romans because the Greeks had ruled this area for three hundred years prior to this. The Romans spread Greco-Roman art in the western part of the empire. It has to be noted that, however, many of the local peoples in the empire retained their traditional art.
Well seeing as Byzantine Art really only applies to a style of art in the Byzantine Empire and not the world, one can't really give a definite name to its predecessor. However, Byzantine Art was influenced by art from the Roman Empire (Roman Art).

Roman art was the art of the ancient Roman civilisation. Rome was said to have been founded in 753 BC. Historians give 476 AD as a conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. In that year, the last emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire was deposed by a usurper. This makes about 1,200 years of ancient Roman civilisation.
Since the whole Roman empire ended in the 1400s, it is likely for the Roman art to end somewhere around that time. It is not certain, but this date is probably likely.
