In AD395, the Roman Empire was divided into two parts. The Western half, ruled from Rome, fell to the tribal Germanic peoples known as Barbarians in the 5th century.
The Eastern half, known as Byzantine Empire, lasted for more than 1.000years.Until the mid-11th century when it begun to decline in power, the Byzantine Empire was one of the leading civilizations in the world.
In 324, Constantine, the first Christian emperor, became sole ruler of the Roman Empire. He set up his eastern headquarters at the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium in 330. The city, renamed Constantinople after its founder, and was also known as "New Rome". It became the capital of the Byzantines after the Roman Empire was formerly divided.
Constantinople was located on the European shore of the Bosporus, midway between the Aegean and the Black seas, in what is now the country of Turkey. The city brought together people from the lands of Europe and Asia. In 1453, when the capital of the new Ottoman Turks conquered the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople became the capital of the new Ottoman Empire.(The city's name was changed to Istanbul in1930).
