Constantinople has a large advantage because it is coasted by two major seas, the black sea, and the meditteranean sea. This makes it a major trading point. Also from its position it could easily stop an enemy from crossing from the meditteranean to the black sea. Also if there was a battle at Constantinople they would only have to fight from 1/4 of a front because the other 3/4 of the city perimeter is surrounded by water.
