Along its routes flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. In existence for 600 years, it also saw the sweeping expansion of one of the most important religions in the world: Islam. Now it is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture. It is shaping the modern world. Yet Constantinople, today’s Istanbul, has always been the gate between East and West, North and South. Standing as both an idea and a place, it has been the capital city of the Roman, Byzantian and Ottoman Empires. It has always looked West, as well as East. But in today’s world, after rebuttals from the EU, Istanbul is turning its face resolutely eastwards once again – which should be cause for deep concern for those living in Europe. In this fascinating discussion with Dan Snow, Cambridge University’s Dr Kate Fleet takes us on a tour of the hugely successful and long lasting empire, and questions how we should view its legacy in the modern era.\n
