When did the byzantium originate?
Unfortunately there's not a clear answer to this as historians disagree over when the 'Byzantine Empire' changed from simply being the 'Roman Empire'. In truth, the populace of the empire never considered themselves to be 'Byzantine', they actually thought of themselves as Roman. 'Byzantium', as it is referred to today, is a bit of an awkward term that was created by pre-twentieth century historians. It's used to describe the late Roman Empire and comes from the original name of its capital city: Constantinople. Which had previously been known as 'Byzantium'. There are a group of arguments amongst historians with regards to when 'Byzantium' began:In 286 AD when the Roman Empire was divided into Eastern and Western halves by the Emperor Diocletian.When Constantine built the city of Constantinople, c.324-330 ADWhen the last Western Roman Emperor died, 476 ADDuring the Islamic expansion in the 7th century ADThough there is an agreed upon end-date(1453). In truth it may simply be easier to view this as the 'Later Roman Empire', as many of the customs and traditions (though certainly not the religious commitments) of the people stay the same until the Islamic expansions - hence the argument for such being the beginning of 'Byzantium'.
What was Constantinople's old name?
Constantinople was originally named Byzantium by the Greeks who founded a colony there in the 7th century BCE. It was renamed Konstantinoupolis (Constantinople) after Constantine I in 324 CE; Constantine transferred the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople in 330 CE. Constantinople's modern name, Istanbul, comes from the Greek phrase 'eis tin polin' which means 'into the City.' After the Republic of Turkey was created in 1923, the Turkish government began to officially reject the use of Constantinople as an acceptable name for Istanbul.
