A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)!
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
I missed what happened. Why'd it get so much smaller?
It's gone.
It's just cold, OKAY?
1000 years of losing the Empire piece by piece to outsiders
Explanation: The top is the ROMAN EMPIRE AT ITS HEIGHT.
The bottom is the Byzantine Empire, the successor state of the Roman Empire, just before its total collapse.
This is clearly bullshit! The devs nerfed Rome way too hard. Now we're not even competitive in the meta against the Ottomans, smh.
