A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Constantine's audacious project to build a new imperial capital on the site of ancient Byzantium. They trace the strategic reasons behind choosing the Greek city on the Bosporus, the massive construction effort that transformed it into Constantinople, and the ways Constantine deliberately wove Christian and pagan elements into the city's fabric. Lucas describes the defensive walls, the imperial palace, the hippodrome, and the Church of the Holy Apostles, where Constantine planned his own tomb. They discuss the spoliation of pagan temples across the empire to adorn the new capital, the population transfer that filled the city with artisans and aristocrats, and the food dole that kept the populace loyal. The conversation also touches on the paradox of Constantine's vision: a Christian city built with the spoils of pagan shrines, dedicated to the Virgin Mary yet still home to temples of Tyche and Rhea. Finally, they consider how Constantinople outlasted the western empire and became the center of Byzantine civilization for over a millennium.
