Encarta Answers  | Byzantium: City of antiquity, founded on the European side of the Bosporus in 660 BC as a Greek colony. With its excellent harbour, strategic location, and abundant fishing grounds, Byzantium soon became a leading port and distribution centre. It was much fought over during the Graeco-Persian and Peloponnesian wars, but was recognized as an allied free city by the Romans. Renamed Constantinople in 330, it was the sole capital of the Byzantine Empire from 395 to its fall in 1453 AD. |
