The capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople (now Istanbul), was basically the bridge between Europe and Asia. It straddled the Bosporus Strait, which means it was a part of (and still is) Europe and Asia. It also led into the Black Sea from the Mediterranean, and vice versa. It had a strategic military and trading placement.
