Evolution of the Roman Empire
The Byzantine Empire in the 13th century had significantly declined, with Constantinople lost in 1204 and only retaining small territories in Greece and Anatolia. While the Byzantine Empire of the 13th century may not resemble the Roman Empire of antiquity, it is essential to differentiate it from the Roman Empire of the 5th and 6th centuries. The Roman Empire did not fall entirely in the West; instead, one fell while the Eastern Roman Empire persisted, indicating that the division of the Roman Empire was inherent from its inception.
