The origins 330 A.D. Roman emperor Constantine I dedicated a "new Rome" on
the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium NEW ROME, CONSTANTINOPLE, CAPITAL OF ERE, BE,
sometimes call the 2nd Rome. Though the western half of the Roman Empire crumbled and
fell in 476 the eastern half survived for 1,000 more years, spawning a
rich tradition of art, literature and learning and serving as a military buffer between the states of Europe and the threat of invasion from Asia and Islamic peoples
The Byzantine Empire finally fell in 1453, after an Ottoman army stormed Constantinople during the reign of Constantine XI.
A New Rome CONSTANTINOPLE, BYZANTINE EMPIRE "Byzantine" derives from Byzantium, an ancient Greek colony
founded by a man named Byzas Located on the European side of the Bosporus (the strait linking
the Black Sea to the Mediterranean) the site of Byzantium was ideally located to serve as a transit and
trade point between Europe and Asia Minor In 330 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine I chose Byzantium as the
site of a new Roman capital, Constantinople Five years earlier, at the Council of Nicaea, Constantine had
established Christianity (once an obscure Jewish sect) as Rome's official religion
Constantinople and the rest of the Eastern Roman Empire identified strongly as Romans and Christians, though many of them spoke Greek and not Latin
