The work focuses on the founding and development of Constantinople, initially known as Byzantium, under the rule of various emperors, with an emphasis on Constantine the Great, who established the city as a new capital for the Roman Empire. Through vivid illustrations complementing the text, the book explores not only the historical significance of the city but also the cultural transformations that occurred over the centuries. At the start of the book, the foundation of Constantinople is examined in detail, particularly highlighting the motivations and political contexts behind its establishment by Constantine the Great. The narrative delineates the strategic advantages of the city’s location and how it symbolized a shift in power dynamics within the Roman Empire. The text also touches upon the significant changes in governance, society, and religion, as well as the historical importance of Byzantium prior to its transformation into Constantinople. This opening provides a rich backdrop, setting the stage for the city's evolution and its eventual prominence in history.
