Constantinople was in East Roman territory and was known as the city of Byzantium, and but was reinvigorated and reestablished by the Roman emperor Constantine, as his namesake in 306CE. The seat of Roman government was moved there briefly, and it soon became the head of the Eastern empire. After the collapse of the empire in c.476CE, and the following split, the eastern empire (now known as the Byzantine empire) was established, with its head at Constantinople. The city would remain a bastion of classical culture until her defeat at by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. The city's name was changed in 1930 to Istanbul.
