A question that no doubt any fan of late Roman history has been thinking about, who at the same time is interested in urban history and architecture, is: Which city was more impressive during its prime: Rome or Constantinople? The old Rome, the cradle of the Roman empire, where the whole story started, or the New Rome, Nova Roma, the city of Constantine, Constantinople, formerly known as Byzantium? In this video, we are going to try to answer that question, and even though this is a highly subjective topic, we are still going to try to quantify certain aspects of those two impressive cities, in order to find out which city must have been more impressive during their primes: The old Rome, or the new Rome? So then, let this epic showdown of the two most impressive cities of the roman empire begin!
