WHAT DOES CONSTANTINOPLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Constantinople

Constantinople was the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman empires. It was reinaugurated in 324 AD at ancient Byzantium, as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330. In the 12th century, the city was the largest and wealthiest European city. Eventually, the empire of Christian Eastern Orthodoxy known as the Byzantine Empire in the east was reduced to just the capital and its environs, falling to the Ottoman Empire in the historic battle of 1453. The city then became the Ottoman's fourth and final capital up until its collapse in 1923 which was replaced with the Republic of Turkey with Ankara as the current capital. The city itself remained and prospered as the Muslim capital in the Ottoman period; however, scholars normally reserve the name "Constantinople" for the city in the Christian period of 330–1453, preferring "Istanbul" for the city's name in later centuries. However, many Western writers have continued to refer to the city by its older name into modern times.
