Constantinople remained the capital of the Roman and Byzantime empires for over a thousand years, until it was captured by the Turks in the 1400s. Long after Rome fell to barbarian invaders, Constantinople thrived as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (by then the Roman Empire had split into Eastern and Western realms, with separate emperors for each, though they remained closely allied with one another.

It was consecrated as the capital of the Roman Empire in 330, on May 11.

Constantinople was nicknamed the new Rome, the second eastern Rome , alma Roma and Roma Constantiniana.
