Constantinople is known today as Istanbul in Turkey. The name Istanbul is said to derive from the Greek phrase (Is-tin-poli) which means "To The City." During the East Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire) the City of Constantinople was also known by many other descriptive names, such as: The City The Queen of Cities The God-guarded City The Eye of the World The Envy of the World Constantinople was the capital of the East Roman Empire (founded by Constantine the Great in 330 AD) and very quickly became the largest and wealthiest city in the world at that time.
