Constantinople: The Capital City
I learned that Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Constantinople's location had a large growth with people coming in and out. It stood between Europe and southwest Asia, because of the location, it was a thriving center of business and trade. The main street running through the city was the Mese, or "Middle Way." Citizens also could enjoy free entertainment at the city's large arena.

Wow I never knew that Constantinople was a very powerful capitol. That lots of people were going in and out. Constatinople was probably a really important to Rome.
Wasn't Constantinople also on the silk road? Yah. Very interesting.
Constantinople must have been a very crowded and busy city with all those people coming and going.
It was probably a special city to Rome
great job anthony. you wrote a very detailed paragraph about Constantinople
I didn't knpw that Constantinople was that powerful; that probably means it was really important to Rome, as well.
