But Rome was not even part of it. Rome was part of the Holy Roman Empire, not of the Greek Empire. The Pope crowned the Holy Roman Emperor, not the Greek Emperor.

Actually, you just call it the Roman Empire. IF you really need to differentiate though, you call it the Eastern Roman Empire. Problem solved.

They were neither Roman nor an empire.
>>949563
Greek had been a language for the nobility in Rome since the Republican days. It was considered vulgar to speak Latin in proper company. Much like the early years of England with French.

>Pontifex Maximus could crown Roman Emperors because of a forged document (Donation of Constantine)

They were the only European Empire throughout the middle-ages,feudalism never flourished in Byzantium.
>>949366
>But Rome was not even part of it. Rome was part of the Holy Roman Empire, not of the Greek Empire. The Pope crowned the Holy Roman Emperor, not the Greek Emperor.
That maybe true, but the Pope was the Byzantine's Emperor's bitch for many centuries in the early middle-ages.

What the fuck does that old farts opinion have to do with anything? His entire legitimacy rests on forged documents and besides he stopped crowning the MGF Emperors rather quickly.

None of those, english simply doesn't have the letter "y" necessary to pronounce it
>>948913
This. Byzantine was never used by actual residents of the empire, as a term it was completely made up and as such pronunciation doesn't matter.

They didn't call themselves Byzantine, they still called themselves the Roman Empire, Basileia ton Rhomaion.
Constantinople's old name "Byzantium" was pronounced bee-tsayn-tih-uhm, so if they called themselves Byzantine (Byzantinos) it would sound like bee-tsayn-tin-oss, so..
