Okay

So the Eastern Roman Empire is the Roman Empire right?

no

it was the split aftermath of the Roman empire

and it later became entirely separate from that title when it turned into the Byzantine empire later on

But

It was not referred to as the so called "Byzantine Empire"

And citizens referred to themselves as Romans

kinda stupid in my opinion

it's like saying abruzzians living in southern italy are italians

(italo-albanians)

That's their nationality

Roman isn't even an ethnicity

It was a nationality

It referred to any Roman citizen

thats just because it encompassed so many regions that there wasn't really any "ethnicity"

Exactly

Also Albanians in Italy are referred to as "Arbëreshë"
