@Gundog @Xenophon @Owl BYZANTINE EMPIRE IS JUST THE MEDIEVAL ROMAN STATE
ITS CALLED THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE BECAUSE DARNED YOU'LL BE TO CALL IT ROMAN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE POPE OF ROME OR THE HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR OR ANY VASSAL THEREOF

WHICH MEANS THAT ROMAN CIVILIZATION CONTINUOUSLY EXISTED FROM 753 BC TO 1453 AD, FOR 2206 YEARS
