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 Eastern Roman Empire is known as Byzantine Empire. However, this is a term which had been coined by historians. So are the term Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire. The Romans had only one term: Roman Empire. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). 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. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west
