The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire centred on Constantinople during late antiquity and the Middle Ages, surviving the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
