You mean West Romes fall. The Eastern Roman empire lasted until the 15th century. Eastern Rome was sacked in 1204 which was the actual blow that jump stated the Western Enlightenment after plundering Eastern Rome for 50 years. https://www.ancient.eu/article/1188/1204-the-sack-of-constan... https://www.britannica.com/place/Byzantine-Empire/Byzantine-... https://historyofislam.com/contents/the-classical-period/con...

The Ottomans did not take over East Rome until the 15th century, where much of the plunder was already gone to the West. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/ancient-history/fallconstan...

While the West would term the East Romans as "Byzantines" in the 15th Century, this isn't correct to say they were not in Roman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium
