What we call the Eastern Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire was not just a mere continuation of the Roman Empire.
我們所說的東羅馬帝國或者說拜占庭帝國并不僅僅是羅馬帝國的延續。
No matter how little it came to resemble the original in language or culture the Byzantine Empire literally was the Roman Empire.

almost all of the Eastern Empire had belonged to the Alexander the Great's empire in 4 century BC.
幾乎所有東羅馬帝國的人都是公元前4世紀亞歷山大大帝的后裔。
And so shared a common bond of Hellenistic culture.

And had finally figured out how to rule the Empire.

因此講希臘語的東羅馬帝國從和平中得到的益處也就和講拉丁語的西羅馬帝國一樣多。
At the same time the Romans themselves and the Western Roman Empire eagerly embraced Hellenistic culture.
同時羅馬人自己以及西羅馬帝國也非常歡迎希臘文化。
