Constantinople is now what is called Istanbul (I am almostt certain) Type that in msn.com and it will give you the location
Constantinople had a great location because it was surrounded by water.
First of all, Constantinople was in a natural cross road for land and sea trade routes. Second, Constantinople was on a peninsula, so it was very easy to defend. Finally, Constantinople had a secret weapon in Greek fire, which could burn on water. Since Constantinople was surrounded by water on three sides Greek fire was invaluable in sea battles.

A relative location map is a map that assumes that the viewer's present location is the center of the map. This means that everything else is relative to their location.
Constantinople's location helped the Byzantine culture spread in many ways. Because Constantinople's location was near the Marmara Sea, they had a definite way of trading. Trading helps their culture spread, because they are able to make money, therefore they could spread their empire wider and further. Another way the Marmara Sea benefited them, was because it was a barrier from potential enemies. If you look on a map, Constantinople is located on that thin strip leading into Asia. In the Byzantine's favor, their thin border was easier to protect/guard, that is why they moved their capitol on the other side.

It was like a gateway to Asia for trade.
