What we have left is the Byzantine equivalent to the old Roman Empire. In a sense, we are witnessing the new change already. The Byzantine Empire is just another name for the Eastern Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was split in two, Western and Eastern. The Western fell to the barbarians while the Eastern became the Byzantine. They lasted for another 1000 years before falling to the Ottoman Empire. The Western Roman Empire was succeeded by the Holy Roman Empire.
