A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final siege of Constantinople in 1453. They discuss the city's weakened state under Constantine XI Palaiologos, the massive Ottoman army under Mehmed II, the use of the massive bombard known as the Dardanelles Gun, the chain across the Golden Horn, the Byzantine defenders' desperate tactics including the 'Greek fire' and the wall repairs, the treacherous night of May 28-29, the final assault, and the death of the last emperor. They also touch on the legacy of the fall, including the transformation of Hagia Sophia into a mosque and the end of the Roman Empire in the East.
