Is this meme /his/torically accurate?

>Byzantium
you mean the name of the village that was on the site of Constantinople (imperial capital of the entire empire, and of the east, which contained the economic core of the empire) attached to the name of the eastern portion of the empire after its demise by a butthurt shill for the >H>R>E?

No, black people wouldn't know what Byzantium was

There isn't really any historiographical basis from which you can argue that they weren't Romans. It's like trying to argue that Julius Caesar wasn't assassinated or that the Anglo Saxons won the Battle of Hastings

If anybody tries telling you that Byzantium was just "Greeks LARPing as Romans" then it's obvious they have a very limited understanding of Mediterranean civilization

The Diadochi successor states are considered part of Alexander's empire.

So I don't see why Byzantine wouldn't be considered the successor to Rome.

Byzantium wasn't even a successor state, it was literally a Roman Empire.

>>2483420
Rome was barbarians larping as greeks

>>2483435
>successor to Rome
It was literally the same state, nothing successor about it

Is there a historiographical basis for the terms "Roman Republic", "Principate", "Dominate"?

They're all post-hoc terms. I don't see why Byzaboos always get buttblasted.
