Reply to comment by VipsaniusAgrippa25 in I think that the term Byzantines is rightly used for adressing the Eastern Roman Empire. by VipsaniusAgrippa25

The Roman empire stood for over a thousand years. Of course the governments changed, nothing ever stays the same. People react and adapt to changing environment.

The Roman east was always Greek, even during the days of Caesar and Augustus the Eastern part of the empire spoke Greek.
