Roman Empire fell 476, great schism was 1054. I suspect time travel was involved

The Eastern Roman Empire didn’t fall until 1453, and during that entire time those people called themselves “Romans”. Byzantine is a description created by historians in more modern times.

Besides the point others have made that the Roman Empire lasted until 1453, this monastery was built in 386.
