Description
Christian Constantinople the Imperium Orientale by Anselmi Banduri, 1711. Constantinople was founded in 330 AD, at ancient Byzantium, as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine I. The city was the largest and wealthiest European city of the Middle Ages. An inner wall was erected by Constantine I, and the city was surrounded by a triple wall of fortifications, begun during the 5th century by Theodosius II. The city was built on seven hills as well as on the Bosporus, and thus presented an impregnable fortress enclosing magnificent palaces, domes and towers. Cassell's Illustrated History of England, 1865 (cropped and cleaned).
