The main adversary of the Byzantines was the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which held territory on both sides of the city. In April of 1453, the Ottoman Turks began their siege of the city. The turkish armies numbered between 50,000-80,000 men while the Byzantine forces numbered around 7,000. On May 29th, after seven weeks of siege and fighting, the city fell to the Ottoman Turks.
The fall of Constantinople marked the official end of the Roman Empire, which existed as a political entity for 1,500 years.
