Calling eastern Rome Byzantine quietly changes the historical story
Anthony Kaldellis presents the Byzantine Empire as a continuation of Roman history, and the outline spans 2,200 years. The familiar label helps divide a long timeline, but it can imply a sharper civilizational break than subjects experienced. Naming isn't neutral when it determines which institutions and identities appear continuous.
