Roman Empire in 1453

Description

Rome was born with a Romulus in 753 BC and died with another Romulus in 476 AD...
Constantinople was born with a Constantine in 330 and died with another Constantine in 1453...
What a coincidence... (?)

At the beginning of the year, the remnants of Rhomania consist in the the Capital and its surroundings, Morea, some Aegean Islands and some cities on the Black Sea.

Then all is lost... 1453... the walls of the old capital are shaking... the Turks are at its gates... Constantine dies in battle... Mehmed II enters the city as a conqueror...

Meanwhile Greek intellectuals flee to Italy... Venice seizes Byzantine Aegean islands to save them from the Ottoman Empire...

France and England end their endless wars...

A new era begins in Europe :)

A sad end but it had a good innings.
