Why did Constantinople become a wealthy city?
Constantinople was in a perfect strategic position. It was easily defendable. But the reason it grew wealthy was its position regarding trade. The Gateway of Europe sat astride the East-West and Europe-Asia trade routes. Fur, amber, and similar came down the great rivers of Eastern Europe. Metals and wool came from Europe. But the greatest wealth came from the East. Incense, Spice, Silk, Ivory, Gems, Carpets, etcetera flowed across the Silk Road from China, and from the Middle Eastern states. North African trade also came to the city. Of course, all this trade... Could be taxed! The Byzantine or Eastern Roman Emperors made enormous fortunes from this trade, and the city flourished like few cities before it. Palaces, Churches and enormous public buildings were built. The Rape of Constantinople by the Christians in the Fourth Crusade was the end of the fortunes of the city. Although it continued on til the mid-15th Century, its wealth was finished. The fabulous wealth of the Jewel of Christendom passed into history.
