About

New Rome (Ancient Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη, Néa Rhṓmē; Koine Greek: [ˈne̞a ˈr̥o̞ːme̞ː]; Latin: Nova Roma; Late Latin: [ˈnɔwa ˈroma]) was the original name given by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great to his new imperial capital in AD 330, which was built as an expansion of the city of Byzantium on the European coast of the Bosporus strait.
