In 330 CE, the city of Byzantium was re-established and renamed Constantinople, becoming the capital of the Roman Empire. Founded by Emperor Constantine the Great, it was strategically located between Europe and Asia and served as a center for trade, culture, and politics. Constantinople later became the capital of the Byzantine Empire and played a crucial role in the history of both the Roman and Byzantine civilizations.
Istanbul was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire in the past, but it is not the capital of Turkey today. Ankara is the current capital of Turkey as it was chosen for its central location within the country and to promote development in other regions beyond Istanbul.
The center of Byzantine government in Italy was primarily located in the city of Ravenna. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Ravenna became the capital of the Byzantine Exarchate of Italy due to its strategic location and fortified defenses. Other significant cities included Venice, which emerged as a key center for Byzantine trade and influence, and Naples, though it was less central to the government.
