This is a tricky question, since most of the powers that succeeded the formal Roman Empire still claimed descent from it.
Technically speaking, the Roman Empire split into two portions, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, which were each led by theoretically-equal Caesars. The Western Empire, whose capitol was Rome, degenerated more quickly than the Eastern. The Eastern Roman Empire, whose capitol was Byzantium (Constantinople), lasted longer, and is traditionally referred to as the Byzantine Empire, even though at the time they considered themselves the continuation of the Roman Empire. The fall of Constantinople in the 4th Crusade (against the Islam Caliphate) is generally considered the end of the Eastern Empire, although the Byzantines remained one of several former-empire states for another century or so until they lost their territory to the Ottoman Empire.
After that, the Holy Roman Empire was the main European Empire up until 1806, when the last Holy Roman Emperor abdicated after loosing most of his power to Napoleon. And don't forget that Russia, Spain and England all had Empires as well, along the way.

Where did the barbarians live?
Barbarian was a word which the Romans adopted from the Greeks and meant foreigner. For the Greeks it referred to anyone who did not speak Greek. Originally the Roman use of the term barbarian referred to non-Romans. When Roman citizenship was extended to all freemen in the Roman Empire by the emperor Caracalla in 215, and all the conquered peoples became Romans, barbarian came to refer to the peoples who lived outside the Roman Empire. Therefore, the barbarians came to be the peoples who lived on the other side of the frontiers of the Roman Empire: north-western Europe, eastern Europe, Persia, Arabia and Africans who lived south of the border of the empire.
