Excerpt from A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 1: From Arcadius to Irene, 395 A. D. To 800 A. D
Now this essential fact is obscured as far as language is able to obscure it by applying the name Byzantine or the name Greek to the Empire in its rater stages. Historians who use the phrase Byzantine Empire are not very con sistent or very precise as to the date at which the Roman Empire ends and the Byzantine Empire begins. Sometimes the line is drawn at the foundation of Constantinople by Con stantina the Great, sometimes at the death of Theodosius the Great, sometimes at the reign of Justinian, sometimes (as by Finlay) at the accession of Leo the Isaurian; and the historian who adopts one line of division cannot assert that the historian who adopts a different line is wrong. For all such lines are purely arbitrary. N o Byzantine Empire ever began to exist; the Roman Empire did not come to an end until 1453.
