The Byzantine Empire, and its capital of Constantinople, held a strategic geographical significance. Constantinople is located right between the Black Sea and the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. As a result most trade between Asia, Europe and North Africa had to pass through the Byzantine Empire.
As a result, Rome was prone to civil wars with silly events like the Year of the 6 Emperors in 238, among other things. Finally, in the case of a major war spanning years and multiple battles, logistics would be important. In this area, the Romans simply had a geographical advantage: the Mediterranean.
