Rome and Constantinople use be a united empire, until the Roman Empire was split into two, east and west. In 330 CE, the emperor Constantine, the first emperor to convert to Christianity, moved the capital east to Byzantium and changed its name to Constantinople. but i dont think there is really a difference, only that the east is affeciant when it came to trading and making goods such as artifacts.

∙ 10y agoConstantinople, meaning the "city of Constantine" was the capital of Eastern Roman Empire. Istanbul was the capital of Ottoman Empire. Constantinople had a population of Orthodox Christians until its fall to the Turks. Istanbul had a population of mostly Muslims but of other minorities such as the Jewish and the Christians. Other religions were tolerated.
Geographically, Constantinople was located on the easternmost Thrace, but Istanbul reached onto the northwestern point of the Anatolian peninsula.
Constantinople had the honor of having the greatest Orthodox church (Hagia Sofia) that the world has ever seen but the Turks turned the church into a mosque. (It's a museum in today's world)
It is worth noting that Constantinople and Istanbul are two names for the same city and the aspects mentioned above describe the same city during different time periods.
