He begins with the founding of Byzantium by Greek colonists, traces its rise to power and eventual elevation to peer of Rome (and re-christening as Constantinope "the City of Constantine"), and explains the underpinnings of the gradual decline and eventual conquest of the city by the Ottomans.

Thus was founded the city of Byzantium...
