Byzantine empire. This term applies to the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and reflects the fact that this empire gradually became centred on Greece and Greek culture. In 620 Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire.

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium the name of the Greek city which was turned into the capital of the east by Constantine I and renamed by him Roma Nova, but called Constantinople by the people.
