It was always called the Roman Empire. Its western half disappeared in 476 but the eastern half would endure for a millennium.

It was called the Empire of the Greeks in the west during the Middle Ages. Those who lived in it, however, called it the Empire of the Romans until the end.

After Octavian, it was the Empire. Before that, it was the Republic.
