Founding of Byzantium (330 CE)

In a world teetering on the brink of change, we trace the silken threads of history back to the dawn of Constantinople, a city conceived in the fertile chaos of the early fourth century Roman Empire. Here, amid the thrumming pulse of an empire sprawling from misty British isles to sun-drenched Egyptian deserts, Emperor Constantine weaves a mosaic of strategic brilliance and divine destiny. As the whispers of the ancient Delphic Oracle mingle with the echoes of administrative reform and spiritual reawakening, we invite you to join us on a journey to a city balanced precariously between worlds, both geographically and metaphorically. Let the legacy of Byzantium, a blend of power, piety, and prophecy, gently guide us into the realms of dream and discovery. This episode is hosted by Jessica Morgan.
