The capital of "New Rome" was Constantinople, formerly Byzantium, now Istanbul.
The port city of Byzantium is at farthest southeastern point of Europe, adjacent to Asia Minor. The city was selected for its position controlling the Straits of Bosporus. Since the city was established under the instructions of the Roman Emperor Constantine I the Great, it was renamed in his honor as Constantinople and survived the Ottoman Empire (1922 AD) although since 1453 it had a second name given by its Ottoman Turk conquerors, which was Istanbul.

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by emperor Constantine the Great in 330.
