In the twilight of a faltering Roman Empire, the foundations of Constantinople were set, a city born from the vision of Constantine the Great amidst a time of tumult and transformation. As the empire writhed under the weight of internal strife and external threats, this new capital emerged as a beacon of hope and renewal, straddling the vibrant collision of Europe and Asia. It was here, on the cusp of two continents, that Constantine sculpted his legacy, intertwining the spiritual with the sovereign, crafting a city that would stand as a fulcrum of culture, trade, and faith. Drift with us into the serene echoes of Constantinoples inception, where history whispers tales of resurgence and dreams of empire. This episode is hosted by Jessica Morgan.
