Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern part of the Roman Empire that survived throughout the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. This empire was located in the eastern Mediterranean and its capital was in Constantinople. After the death of the Roman emperor Theodosius I in 395 AD, the Roman Empire was divided among his two sons: the Western Roman Empire, with its capital in Rome (and later in Ravenna), and the Eastern Roman Empire, later known as the Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople. The Western Roman Empire fell in 475 AD after the invasion of the German tribes. Instead, the Byzantine Empire continued to exist and, in its largest extension, it ruled over almost all the Mediterranean Sea, including Greece, the Middle East, North Africa, the South of Spain and Italy. For this reason, the Byzantine Empire was an ethnically diverse empire, ruling over Caucasians, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and Arabs among many other populations.
