Constantinople

Constantinople is a Season 9 town that is currently directly owned by Sungross. It is part of the Roman Empire and was the subject of a major war in the beginning of the 9th Season. Its original founder and mayor was SamuelFreeman, in which its original name was Byzantion.

Byzantion had a small but effective system of walls, as well as redstone gates. While none of the original city remains, it has a large but half-ruined Townhall building.

During the Hittite Civil War, it was the capital of a temporary nation called the Kingdom/Empire of Greece, before being incorporated into the Republic of Texas for a short while. During the course of the Hittite Civil War, it was the site of the Battle and Siege of Byzantion, which led to its re-annexation into the Hittite Empire.

After the Great War, the Romans absorbed the city into their domains, but it was in a worse condition than before. After reassuming control over the East in the Empire, sungross, now co-emperor of the Roman Empire, razed the city to the ground in order to rebuild it in his image.
