Walls of AurelianThe fall of Constantinople in 1453 is one of the most momentous events in world history. Sure, the power of the Roman Empire had long since faded; but here at last was the end of the story that had started with Romulus and Remus on the mountainside in Latium.

One thought on “167a The Fall of Constantinople by Paul Vincent

  1. I’m just getting to this…Nice summary of the fall of Byzantium, Romania, and Constantinople. Of course, this “ruined” the story I am following in the History of Byzantium podcast, but that will not reach the 1450s for several years.

    Again, Paul, nice job!
