This history of the Byzantine Empire covers the history of the eastern Mediterranean empire from late antiquity until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD. Several events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the transitional period during which the Roman Empire's east and west divided.
  In the East, the Roman Empire (commonly called the Byzantine Empire) continued until 1453, when it was replaced by the Ottoman Empire, whose Sultan used the title Qaysar y Rum (Emperor of Rome) and which survived until 1922.he term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330.
