Constantinople(Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολη) was the name of the modern-day city of İstanbul, Turkey, that, over the centuries, served as the second capital of the unified Roman Empire, and after its division into East and West, of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire (from the city's ancient Greek name, Byzantium). Constantinople was located strategically between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara at the point where Europe met Asia, and was highly significant as the successor to ancient Rome and the largest and wealthiest city in Europe throughout the Middle Ages, known as the "Queen of Cities".

The city through out time had many names. Depending on the background of people, and their language and ethnicity, it often had a couple of different names at any given time. Byzantium, New Rome, Constantinople and Stamboul were some. Extended information can be found under Constantinople (Etymology).
