Ha! Well I'm a history major @ Villanova University and everything you're stating is in direct contrast to the accepted thought on the situation oEf the Eastern mpire at the collapse of the Roman Empire. Even if the Emperor remained "Dominus Noster," the average person in the Eastern Empire would not have understood what that meant because they were all speaking Greek if not Syriac or Coptic.

I place my faith in my Professors and in Averil Cameron's books rather than in some Professor @ Tomball College

the average person in the Eastern Empire right down to the end called themselves "Romaioi". The Orthodox church considers itself the legate and defender of Rome of ROMIOSINI.
