A proposito di questo titolo

Episode 1 of The Story of Turkey opens on a single moment in 537 CE, when Emperor Justinian entered the newly completed Hagia Sophia and reportedly exclaimed, 'Solomon, I have outdone you.' From that golden-domed church, Lucas and Luna pull back to trace the city's older roots as Byzantium, a Greek colony on the Bosphorus. They explore how geography—the narrow strait linking the Black Sea to the Mediterranean—made this spot a crossroads of continents and empires for millennia. The conversation moves from the legendary foundation by Byzas the Megarian to Constantine's bold decision to refound the city as his capital in 330 CE, renaming it Nova Roma, soon known as Constantinople. They touch on the city's role as the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire, the survival of classical learning through the Dark Ages, and the deep fractures that would eventually split Christendom. Lucas introduces the theme that will run through the series: how the same land, the same water, the same stone walls have housed Greek colonists, Roman emperors, Byzantine patriarchs, Ottoman sultans, and modern Turkish republicans—each layer built upon the last, and each leaving its mark. The episode ends not with a promise of what's to come, but with a quiet reflection on how a single building can hold the memory of an empire.
