Where is Constantinople located ? any story about the city.?

Answer 1

Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολη) was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and, following its fall in 1453, of the Ottoman Empire until 1930, when it was renamed to Istanbul as part of Ataturk's Turkish national reforms. Strategically located between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara at the point where Europe meets Asia, Constantinople was extremely important as the successor to ancient Rome and the largest and wealthiest city in Europe throughout the Middle Ages, it was known as the "Queen of Cities".

Answer 4

Constantinople is in modern day Istanbul in Turkey.

Story to follow. Not just going to copy out of Wikipedia, like some people...

Constantinople was the shift of the imperial power of Rome from west to east. While it is commonly said that Rome "fell", this was never true. Instead the city of Rome just got poorer and poorer as the power and wealth shifted to the east. This marked a transitional point in the history of Europe as the formal division of the agricultural Latin-speaking west and the Greek-speaking wealthy east finally emerged. All the money, artists, aristocrats, and bureaucrats went east, and left the west and its Saxon/Gothic roots to fend for themselves.

Constantine and Justinian were the formidable emperors of Byzantium (which is what it is called today, not what they called it then... They were still Rome in their eyes). Constantine established, and Justinian expanded. The Justinian code of laws, which was built out of three parts: Digesta (or Pandectae), Institutiones, and the Codex. It was a formidable body of laws, and taught well into the medieval scholasticism periods, especially in Italy. I could go on for ages about their reigns, but sufficed to say that they provided quite the influence.

The Christianity that was practiced in Byzantium was one based less on the martyred Christ, but rather the stronger Eastern tradition of the Patronly Christ. Images associated with Jesus are only vary rarely that of his suffering death, but rather of his heavenly life (and life beyond life). Iconoclasm (the destruction of icons) was actually a large part of the attempts of the Emperor to control the worship of the people and gain further secular power, but this attempt would ultimately fail. Christians love their images, and in a culture where literacy was far less common than our own, they were an important part of inspiring faith.

Constantinople would ultimately fall to the Turks in 1453, to the Ottoman Empire (so named for the three Ottos that would form it and lead it to conquest). The reasons for this were many, but it involved the gradual decay that was occuring in the city. It was bound to fall at that point, and in the death throes of a great nation degrading into time.

This is a HIDEOUSLY BRIEF history. I could do a lot better with this, but that would involve breaking out more reference material... And... Um... I'm lazy? This is what's on the top of my head.

Scillium is the name of an ancient city and now titular episcopal see in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis, suffragan of Carthage. Perhaps the name should be written Scilium: the real name was possibly Scilli, or better, Scili. On 17 July, 180, six martyrs suffered for the Faith at Scillium; later, a basilica in which St. Augustine preached (Victor Vit., Persecut. Vandal. I, 3, 9; August, Serm. 155, ed. Migne) was dedicated to them (near Douar esh-Shott, west of the town). The Greek version of their Acts, in an addition which is later, says they were natives of "Ischle, Ischle, in Numidia". This name is a Greek transcription of Scillium. The tradition is already recorded in the primitive calendar of Carthage: XVI K. Aug. ss. Scilitanorum (see Martyrolog. Hieronym.", ed. Duchesne and de Rossi, pp. lxx and 92). The Greek compiler intended possibly to speak not of the Province of Numidia, but of the Numidian country and so would have placed Scillium in Proconsular Numidia. In an epitaph of Simitthu, now Chemtou, we read Iscilitana; Simitthu was certainly in Proconsular Numidia, but was Scillium near it? A definitive answer is impossible, and the exact location of Scillium is unknown. Two of its bishops are mentioned: Squillacius, present at the Conference of Carthage, in 411; and Pariator, who signed the letter addressed in 646 by the council of the proconsulate to the Patriarch Paul of Constantinople against the Monothelites. The town is mentioned in the seventh century by Georgius Cyprius ("Descriptio orbis romani", 662, ed. Gelzer, Leipzig, 1890, pp. 34, 106) under the name of Schele. Scillium was the native place of St. Cucuphas, martyred at Barcelona (feast on 25 July; cf. Acta SS., July VI, 149), and of St. Felix, martyred at Gerona (feast on 1 August; cf. Acta SS., August, I, 22). Scillium must not be confounded with Silli, or Sililli, in Numidia, the situation of which is unknown nor, as Battandier does ("Annuaire pontifical catholique", Paris, 1910), identified with Kasrin, which is Cillium, a see of Byzantium.
