clothes Rename "Byzantine Crown" or "Eastern Roman Crown"?

[DUCATISLO]

Rename the Byz crown to E.R.C. since there was never a nation called Byzantium if Tyrone wants to be a bit historical. It's a small name suggestion overall.

"After the Eastern Roman Empire's much later fall in 1453 CE, western scholars began calling it the “Byzantine Empire” to emphasize its distinction from the earlier, Latin-speaking Roman Empire centered on Rome. The “Byzantine Empire” is now the standard term used among historians to refer to the Eastern Roman Empire."

Fair enough, though I could see it being a minor change meant to make it a bit more clear as to who/what is being referred to. "Byzantine" tends to be a more familiar term than "Eastern Roman", and if it was referred to as a Roman crown players might associate it with Rome and Italy rather than the area that is now modern day Turkey. The term byzantine is also derived from Byzantium, which is just another name for Constantinople(the capitol). While it wouldn't be the term that the inhabitants of the empire use to describe themselves, I'm not sure that it's entirely out of the question that foreigners(main Old World setting and cast seems to be mostly from central Europe) might use other names to describe the location and its people/culture.
