Map of Byzantine Constantinople in Turkey
Topographical map of Constantinople during the Byzantine period.
 
     Constantinople was the imperial capital of the Roman Empire (330–395 A.D.), the Byzantine / Eastern Roman Empire (395–1204 A.D. and 1261–1453 A.D.), the Latin Empire (1204–1261 A.D.), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922 A.D.).  The city was also known as New Rome.

     Strategically located between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara at the point where Europe meets Asia, Byzantine Constantinople had been the capital of a Christian empire, successor to ancient Greece and Rome.  During most of the Middle Ages Constantinople was Europe's largest and wealthiest city. Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930.

     Roman Emperor Constantine I transfered the capital of the empire from Nicomedia (in Anatolia) to Byzantium on the Bosphorus, which was renamed Constantinople.
