Résumé
Discover the monumental story behind one of history's greatest cities-the rise of Constantinople, the "New Rome, " where empire, faith, and power converged. In the turbulent early fourth century, as the Roman Empire grappled with internal chaos and external threats, Emperor Constantine the Great made a bold and visionary decision: to found a new imperial capital at the strategic site of Byzantium.
This city, reborn as Constantinople, would become the heart of a transformed empire, a beacon of Christianity, and a fortress against the tides of history. The Founding of Constantinople reveals the deep currents that shaped this historic moment-from the political and military imperatives that demanded a new seat of power, to the innovative urban planning and architectural marvels that symbolized a new era.
Explore how Constantine's vision fused Roman tradition with Christian ideology, creating a city that was not only a center of governance but a spiritual and cultural powerhouse for over a millennium. Drawing on rich historical analysis, primary sources, and vivid storytelling, this book unpacks the economic lifelines, strategic defenses, and social fabric that sustained Constantinople's rise and endurance.
From its monumental churches and impregnable walls to its bustling markets and diverse population, Constantinople emerges as a living testament to resilience, ambition, and transformation. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student of empire and religion, or simply curious about the origins of one of the world's most legendary cities, this definitive account brings to life the story of Constantinople's founding-and its profound impact on the course of civilization.
Step inside the walls of the New Rome. Witness the birth of a capital that changed the world.
