Constantinople (see other names) was a historical city located on a peninsula at the southeastern tip of Europe; with the Bosporus strait, Chalcedon, Chrysopolis and the Anatolian peninsula in Asia to the east; the Golden Horn and Galata to the north; and the Sea of Marmara to the south. Constantinople served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman Empires between its consecration in 330 and the formal abolition of the Ottoman sultanate in 1922. Constantinople was founded in 324, initially as New Rome, during the reign of Constantine the Great on the site of the existing settlement of Byzantium and in 330 became the new capital of the Roman Empire (330–395). Following the death of Theodosius the Great in 395, the Roman Empire was permanently divided between his two sons and Constantinople became the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453).
