During the last days of the Eastern Roman Empire, the modern city of Istanbul was called Constantinople. The name Constantinople was given to the city by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD when he made it the new capital of the Roman Empire. It remained the capital of the Byzantine Empire until it was captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 and renamed Istanbul.
How many years was Constantinople capital of the united roman empire?
Constantinople was inaugurated and an imperial capital in 330. Historians use 476 as the conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. This is the year when the last emperor of this part of the empire was deposed.
Why was the fall of the Roman Empire not a complete fall?
The Roman Empire had been divided into the East Roman Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, and the West Roman Empire, with its capital either at Rome or Ravenna, in 395. The West Roman Empire was in a state of chaos, with various Germanic kingdoms forming, and though they nominally acknowledged the fact that they were in the Roman Empire, for the most part, they were not really under control. In 476, the last emperor of the West Roman Empire was deposed, and the emperor of the East Roman Empire was asked to assume control of the whole. This is the event referred to as the Fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Senate, which had operated in Rome since before the Roman Republic continued to operate after the purported fall, and its last known act was after the year 600. The East Roman Empire continued to operate until Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453.

What are 3 things that the byzantine empire is known for?
The Byzantine Empire is best know for its role in spreading Christianity and for its capital city, Constantinople, which was originally Byzantium, but Emperor Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Constantinople during the last years of the Roman Empire. Back to Christianity, the Byzantines spread Christianity throughout their lands from Russia to modern-day Turkey. The spread of Christianity stopped when the Umayyad Caliphate in the Middle East rapidly began conquering lands and making many people change from Christianity to Islam.
What event in roman history occurred last?
I guess you mean the last event in the history of ancient Rome. Rome still exists. Perhaps the last event in the history of the western part of the Roman Empire was the conquest of the Domain of Soissons, the last territory the Romans held in Gaul by the Franks (a Germanic people) in 486. The last event in the history of the eastern part of the Roman Empire was the capture of its capital, Constantinople, by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern pat of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.
What was the Byzantine Empire and what are the origins of the empire?
The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, but when Rome fell to barbaric conquerors such as Alaric the Byzantine Empire stayed strong. Constantinople, named after Constantine, the Roman Emperor who converted to Christianity on the battlefield, was originally called Byzantium, and it was the center of the Byzantine Empire. The two most famous people of the Byzantine Empire was Emperor Justinian and his empress, Theodora. They were famous because of their efforts to reunite the Mediterranean under Roman rule. Unfortunately Theodora died of cancer in June of 548, but she and her husband reconquered the Mediterranean before her death.
What's the Byzantine Empire?
It's a fairly modern name for the East Roman Empire, which continued in existence until 1453. A modern descriptor used to refer to the eastern half of the Roman Empire from the founding of Constantinople (named Nova Roma or new Rome, but the name Constantinople or City of Constantine stuck, so this is what it was called in later centuries) in 340 CE to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1451 CE. Interestingly, however, the the last remaining vestige of the Byzantine Empire to remain was the Empire of Trebizond, one of the splinter states formed after the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the fourth Crusade. It finally fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1461, making it the final vestige of Roman administration in the east.
Which branch of Christianity was practiced in the western Roman Empire?
In the last 300 years of the Roman Empire Christians were imprisoned and tortured. When the Emperor Constantine I the Great was ruling the Roman Empire Christianity was adopted as the state religion and transferred the capital to the Eastern part of his Empire and named the city New Rome [later Constantinople]. For 10 centuries Christianity was united. In the year 1054 dogmatic differences separated the Christian Church to the Western Roman Church with the Pope as leader and the East Orthodox Church with the Patriarch of Constantinople as leader.
How did rome fell?
This is a very complicated question. First off it depends on what your definition is. The Western Roman Empire fell when Emperor Romulus Augustus was dethroned by the barbarian king Odoacer in 476, but some sources claim it ended in 480 with the death of the last de jure Emperor Julius Nepos. The Eastern Roman Empire is even more uncertain. Some could say it ended when the crusaders of the fourth crusade captured Constantinople and replaced the Byzantine Empire with the "Latin Empire" in 1204. But the Byzantine Empire was restored in 1261 under the Palaiologoi, which most believe reinstated the Roman Empire as well. After that Constantinople fell in 1453 to the Ottomans, which most believe was the true end of the Roman Empire, though many "successor states" would claim the time of Roman Empire, until the last one, the Empire of Trezibond, was destroyed in 1461 by the Ottomans. It should be stated that many later peoples would claim "Last Roman Empire", such was the Russian Tsars, even though they have no real connection to the Roman Empire itself. -~Iolaos~-
When did the Roman Empire fell during the last part of the fourth century?
There is no set date (at least I have never found one) for the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It just kind of disintegrated over such along period (3rd to the 5th century AD). The date for the Eastern Roman Empire on the other hand is 1453, when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople
