Rome fell in 407AD. Constatine had formed the Eastern Roman Empire because of a schism of the Catholic Religion. His home was Byzantium and he remaned it Constantinople. By the 5th Century the Byzantine Empire stretched from Northeast Greece across Asia Minor.

Justinian 1 reconquered and ruled over the some of the old Roman terretories.

Constatniople would be the seat of civilization and culture until it was conquered by the Turks who would rule until WWI.

I just finished reading a book on the Byzantine Empire and yes Emperor Justinian and Theodora were very interesting rulers.

Now according to Wikipedia the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD when the Barbarian invader, Odoacer, forced out the last Roman Emperor (of the West), Romulus Augustus.

Oh yes, the Great Schism in the Church which divided Catholic from Orthodox occurred in 1054.

Look up Schism in Wikipedia for verification.
