    Our context is the tweet in the post and that mentions the difference between the Ottoman and Byzantine empires.

      The context is also my comment you replied to. Didn’t know what difference you meant.

      To make it simple: the Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire was the eastern Roman Empire that continued on after the western Roman Empire went under.

      The Ottoman Empire is the Muslim Empire that took over after the Byzantine Empire got conquered.
