In this video I try my best to summarize some key events in the city state of Byzantium before it became the legendary city of Constantinople. I am trying to make a video series on the history of the Eastern Roman Empire so if you enjoyed this one, please consider subscribing to the channel.

This is my first attempt at making this type of video so I am aware some parts would seem laggy. I promise the next video about Constantine would be in a higher quality.

Thank you for your time!

Background music: Jesper Kyd - Byzantium (Assassin's Creed Revelations full soundtrack)
