Emperor at the top.

Then the nobles,who assisted in running the empire.

Peasant yeoman who provided the manpower for the military and agricultural production.

Merchants.

Slaves.

The Byzantines would have found the term unfamiliar - it wasn't popularized by historians and used widely until the 18th century.They referred to themselves as Romans throughout,and their state as the Roman empire - as did everybody else at the time.
