To me Rome began in 753 BC on the Tiber River and ended in 1917 AD in the riot-struck streets of St. Petersburg.

Czarist Russia was Rome and Byzantium continued.

The Goths didn't destroy it in 476

The Turks didn't destroy it in 1453

The Freemason Communists destroyed it in 1917

The Roman Empire began with Romulus and ended with Nicholas II.

01. Holy Roman Empire was not the legal successor.

02. It is not possible to effectually distinguish between the later empire in Rome and the Byzantine empire centered around Constantinople. For the Byzantines were the Roman Empire, not simply a continuation of it in the East. Greetings.

@unapologeticmind Finaly that is why historians coin the term Byzantine to distinguish the Greek Romans from the ancient Romans of Latium, they are the continuation of Rome but fabric of society changed. In the middle ages theres Greek Rome (Byzantine Empire) Holy Roman Empire (Germans) Frankish Empire that claimed the title Rome by Charlemagne (French Germanic) and Rome in Italy under the Pope... Go figure out which Rome were talking about LOL.

[TheBaronofBallstein]

@unapologeticmind I conclude that Byzantium was Rome continued in a different context everyone in the Empire had one name Romans, wether Greek, Roman, Armenian or mixed of all the mentioned 3 dominant bloodlines in the Empire. It came to the point where to be Roman automaticaly meant to be Greek and vice versa due to the fusion of culture, dominance of one language and mixture of bloodlines. The descendants of the Byzantine Empire is todays Greece who still reffer to them selves as ROMANS.

[TheBaronofBallstein]

@unapologeticmind Again correction, Western Germanic Europe who wanted to claim the title of "Rome" called Byzatnines or Eastern Romans or simply Romans, not Roman Empire but Empire of the Greeks. Byzantium is a mix of indigenous Greeks & Hellenized (converts to Greek culture ex Thracians, Capadocians etc), Romans who were Hellenised, spoke Greek and Armenians. Due to the dominance of Greek language, Greek heritage in the Empire the Germanic nations of W. Europe tried to ursurp the title Roman.

@unapologeticmind Correction, Russia inherited Byzantine blood line by marriage, Slavonic speaking Russia filled in the orthodox power vacuum of "Byzantine" Greek speaking Rome, before the fall of Constantinople the Rus example 900's AD were not a power at all. ie Ruso-Byzantine Wars. Besides Constantinople was renamed to instabul in 1923 not 1453. Learn history with details ppl.

[TheBaronofBallstein]

North of Latium... you are as Roman as Normans are French LOL

[unapologeticmind]

@StellandBlood Hardly, since the Germanic "holy Roman emperors" had no part in the succession of the Roman Empire (the last heir to the western Roman throne was deposed and his royal insignia was delivered to Constantinople). Don't forget that the Eastern Roman Empire continued the Roman state tradition in an uninterrupted line all the way to the fall of Constantinople. The Byzantines never even called themselves anything but Romans and no one else called them anything but Romans...

[unapologeticmind]

@Vader993 You don't become a successor merely by looting and ravaging Constantinople, killing its emperor, renaming it into Istanbul and turning the jewel of Christendom, the Hagia Sophia church, into a mosque. That's just a barbaric act of conquest. When Constantinople fell, Russia inherited the royal bloodline, the banner of Orthodox Christianity, as well as a lot of cultural elements from the Byzantines (the cyrillic alphabet, etc). So, if there was any successor state Russia was the one...
