Answer:

"Byzantium" was a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Byzantines knew themselves as "Romans", Byzantium and Byzantine would become an exonym to describe them, this could have something to do with their capital being built in the same place as the Greek City State of Byzantion
