The Eastern Roman empire survived as the Byzantine Empire even though the Western Roman empire which was centred around Rome collapsed. The Byzantine Empire lasted for millennia after the fall of the Roman empire ending with the Ottoman conquest in 1453. While the Byzantine Empire Capital city was Constantinople, which previously they called Byzantium, the Roman Empire capital was Rome. The Roman Empire in the east turned into the Byzantine Empire over a period of time. Constantine made some significant changes to the Roman empire who ruled from 324 CE to 337 CE. Two of these changes were the new Christian character of the Empire and the new capital at Byzantium. Eventually these changes created a distinct culture which characterizes the Byzantine Empire after the fall of the Western Roman empire in 476. In addition, Constantine legalized Christianity. Christianity became the official state religion of the Roman empire both East and West.
