Periodic cleanup per T:MOS BOT
(Sorry, bit of a nitpick. To the Eastern Roman Empire, "Byzantion" only applied as a name for the city scholars liked to throw around to show their knowledge of the Classical Era. Thus, to call the Empire "Byzantine" wasn't even thought of until Weste) |

It is unclear exactly when the New Byzantine Calender was in use - whether it was just a different version of writing dates (so, the [[61st century]]) or an entirely new dating system. A [[New Roman Empire]] was mentioned to exist in the year [[12005]] in ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'', but other than the name (the Byzantine Empire was the name given to the Eastern Roman Empire in the real world by Western historians and was itself a successor state to the Empire headed in Rome) there is little to connect them. Another possible origin might be the city of [[New Byzantium]] mentioned in ''[[Shadowmind]]''. This could suggest there was a "New Byzantine Empire", that had succeeded the New Roman Empire. | It is unclear exactly when the New Byzantine Calender was in use - whether it was just a different version of writing dates (so, the [[61st century]]) or an entirely new dating system.
