1.Byzantium was (I think) pre Roman and changed by Emperor Constantine to Constantinople.

3. I put iceberg and meant glacier but that would have been wrong 'cos apparently you'd find it on a bloke who sticks glass in windows.

The Byzantine Empire (or Byzantium) was the Eastern Roman Empire of the Middle Ages, centered around its capital of Constantinople, and ruled by emperors in direct succession to the ancient Roman emperors. It was called the Roman Empire and also Romania (Greek: Ῥωμανία, Rhōmanía) by its inhabitants and neighbours. As the distinction between "Roman Empire" and "Byzantine Empire" is purely a modern convention, it is not possible to assign a date of separation, but an important point is Emperor Constantine I's transfer in 324 of the capital from Nicomedia (in Anatolia) to Byzantium on the Bosphorus, which became Constantinople (alternatively "New Rome").[n 1]

Which ever way you look, interesting. cheers Penny
