How were the byzantine emperors like the last of the old roman emperors

Byzantine Emperors were like the last Roman Emperors in the way they both ruled with absolute power.

Explanation:

After facing the difficulty in communication between the growing Roman Empire, it was decided to split the empire in Eastern Empire and Western Empire.

The center of the Eastern Roman Empire was the Greek city Byzantium. After the succession of Emperor Justinian on the throne, the Byzantine Emperors regained Rome's glory by ruling with absolute power just like it's predecessor, the Old Roman Emperors. They had control over both the states and the churches and ruled with brutuality, likewise the old Roman Emperors.

Thus the similarity shared between the Byzantine Emperors and the Old Roman Emperors was they both ruled with absolute power.
