And the Russian empire is arguably a continuation of Byzantium / third Roman Empire with a Czar (Caesar) until the Russian Revolution.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoThe first czar was crowned in 1547 (104 years after the end of the Eastern Empire), so I'm not sure that it's a "continuation" in any real way. It may be a continuation in peoples' minds, but it's not a continuation in the way the Eastern Empire was.
