Welcome to Byzantium, a whole new world, with many great attractions. Some of these attractions happen to be the Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome. These are some of the biggest successes that Constantinople has ever achieved.
A Brief History:
Constantine had ruled the Roman Empire for a long time and decided to change the capital city. This new city was given two names, Byzantium and Constantinople. The definition of Constantinople is 'the city of Constantine.' Since Rome was inspired by Greece, Greek was made the main language. Constantine was not only the founder of Constantinople, but he was also once a great ruler in Rome
, making the two cities connected and similar. Unlike the other Roman cities, Constantinople stood firm and survived most of it's attacks. Therefore, when visiting Constantinople, tourists can have no doubts on the safety.
Byzantium's Achievements:
Constantine wanted to make his city beautiful, so he decided to build several monuments that would improve the geography, religion, and government of the city. Constantine built this wonderful city in about 300 A.D. Some of Byzantium's greatest achievements were the invention of the sewage system, the Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome.
