Detailed explanation-1: -In 330 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine I chose Byzantium as the site of a “New Rome” with an eponymous capital city, Constantinople. Five years earlier, at the Council of Nicaea, Constantine had established Christianity-once an obscure Jewish sect-as Rome’s official religion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term “New Rome” was used to indicate that Byzantium, thereafter Constantinople, was the second/new capital of the Roman Empire. In modern times, “New Rome” remains part of the official title of the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of that city.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, lasted for over 1100 years, from 330-1453.
