The historical era after the transfer of the capital of the Roman empire from Rome to Constantinople and the declaration of Christianity as the official religion is the Byzantine era. Therefore, it can be said that the last Eastern Roman emperor was Mauricius Tiberius Augustus 582 to 602 AD. During his reign it was the last time that the empire (west and east) still bore a resemblance to Rome.
