Description: Constantinopolis Commemoratives - 330-337 AD After Constantine I's conversion to Christianity, he desired to found a new city, named after himself, where Christianity might flourish, unimpeded by paganism (which long enjoyed prevalence in Rome proper). Constantine chose the city then called Byzantium (currently Istanbul, in modern Turkey), at least in part, because of its strategic location. During the fourth century A.D., Rome was divided into two empires, the western capital being Rome itself, and the eastern capital being Constantinople. While the city of Rome was sacked and fell to the barbarian Odocer in 476 A.D., the eastern empire thrived for centuries thereafter. In 330 A.D., Constantine began minting coinage to commemorate Rome's two capitals. For the most part, those of Rome bore on the reverse a she-wolf suckling Rome's two legendary founders, Remus and Romulus, while those of Rome depicted Victory, with his foot on a ship's prow.
