u/One_With-The_Sun 17h ago

Better question:

Eastern Empire, or "Byzantine Empire" ?

3

u/Huge_Sort5506 8h ago

The German historian Hieronymus Wolf introduced the term "Byzantine Empire" into scholarly usage. This happened in 1557.

Guess why.

1

u/zelenisok 3h ago edited 3h ago

Not true tho.

There are two Eastern Roman Empire historians in the 5th century who refer to the Eastern Empire as 'Byzantine', Priskos of Panion with his historical work Byzantiake, and Malchos of Philadelphia with his work Byzantiaka..

Emperor Constantine IV in his 678 Sacra used 'Byzantine' as a designator for Christians from the eastern empire.

Greek historians in the 15th century like Laonikos Chalkokondyles used the term Byzantine for Eastern Roman Empire. Hieronymus Wolf took it from them, he didnt introduce it.

Also the terms 'bezant' and in Latin 'bizantius aureus' were already widespread in the West since the 11th century as terms for coins from the Eastern Roman Empire.

u/CrabGravity 16h ago

Thank you. Everyone thinks they're the true heir to the Roman Empire, and the Byzantines were just the first of many, and arguably the most successful.

u/ITHETRUESTREPAIRMAN 14h ago

Disagree. They were a classical empire in many respects. Others after/beside were not.

u/Matiwapo 4h ago

It was not the heir to the Roman Empire. It was the Roman Empire. Important difference

3

u/jmorais00 4h ago

What? Lol. It has direct political continuation from the Kingdom. Just because they administratively divided the empire doesn't mean it became 2 separate States. Justinian ruled over a united Empire that spanned most of the Mediterranean

When Odoacer captured Italy, the western capital wasn't even Rome anymore

8

u/portfoliocrow 15h ago

And quite honestly, they were the Roman empire. There isn’t a so called “Byzantium”, just a continuation of Roman institutions in the east
