Byzantine Empire When the Roman Empire was declining, the emperor
decided to divide the empire in half because he thought that it would make it easier to govern. Later on, while civil war ravaged the western half of the Empire, the eastern half of the empire was pretty stable and so Emperor Constantine decided to create a new capital at the former Greek city of Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople (present-day Istanbul).
When the western half of the Roman Empire fell,the Eastern half survived.This Eastern half of the Roman Empire later became known as the Byzantine Empire.
