In: Ancient Rome [Edit categories]

Answer:

Similarities: The Byzantine Empire had an emperor and a Senate, had many of the same laws, building styles, and architecture (bath houses, aquaducts, roads, et cetera), and the people enjoyed chariot racing.

Differences: The largest difference was that the Byzantine empire was a Christian one, and not a pagan one. Thus, there were no gladitorial combats, and the emperor acted as both head of church and head of state.
