New Rome
Wikipedia
New Rome ( Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη, Nea Romē; Latin: Nova Roma) was a name given by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD to his new imperial capital at the city on the European coast of the Bosporus strait, also known as Byzantium until then, and as Kōnstantinoúpolis ( Constantinople). The city is now known as Istanbul.
Constantine essentially rebuilt the city on a monumental scale, partly modelled after Rome. Names of this period included , "the New, second Rome"; Alma Roma, ; , "Byzantine Rome"; , "Eastern Rome"; and Roma Constantinopolitana.
The term New Rome lent itself to East–West polemics, especially in the context of the Great Schism, when it was used by the Eastern Orthodox Greek writers to stress the rivalry with the Western Catholic Rome. New Rome is also still part of the official title of the Patriarch of Constantinople–New Rome.
New Rome is another name for Constantinople.
