      It’s still called that in Greek.

      But it has also been called Istanbul for hundreds of years by the locals, and eventually Turkey switched. Istanbul is actually from Greek “to the city”, but they thought it was more Turkish than Constantinople.

      I have a slight preference to calling it Roma Constantinopolitana, but I don’t know if the locals would be up for it.

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?
