Here's the thing. You said a "byzantium is the roman empire."

Is it in the same area? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a historian who studies history, I am telling you, specifically, in history, no one calls the eastern roman empire byzantium. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "roman empire" you're referring to the entire empire, which includes things from the western empire to the eastern empire to the tetrarchs.

So your reasoning for calling eastern rome, byzantium is because random people "use byzantium?" Let's get tetrarchs and the roman republic in there, then, too.


Also, calling eastern rome the heir to the roman empire or the eastern roman empire? It's not one or the other, that's not how history works. They're both. Eastern rome is eastern rome and a member of the roman empire. But that's not what you said. You said eastern rome is byzantium, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all roman institutions byzantium, which means you'd call ab urbe condita, roman kingships, and the republic, byzantium too. Which you said you don't.
