If you are an astute observer, and if you regularly watch this channel, chances are very high that you are, then you might have noticed that I very seldomly use the term Byzantine empire. And if I do so, then only very reluctantly, only because that term is being searched very often in youtube searches. I am not a fan of this term. But why not? Isn't this the commonly accepted term for the surviving eastern Roman Empire? Isn't it a scientific term, that describes the cultural transformation which the Roman Empire underwent in the 7th century, where it transformed from a latin speaking Roman Empire into a greek speaking Empire? Doesn't this term then rightly classify the later Roman Empire as a Byzantine empire? Well, for that, we will have to find out who first coined this term, and in what context it was being used back then. We shall see, that the term is not as scientific or neutral as one might think.
