Two thousand five hundred and fifty-eight years ago a little fleet of galleys toiled painfully against the current up the long strait of the Hellespont, rowed across the broad Propontis, and came to anchor in the smooth waters of the first inlet which cuts into the European shore of the Bosphorus. There a long crescent-shaped creek, which after-ages were to know as the Golden Horn, strikes inland for seven miles, forming a quiet backwater from the rapid stream which runs outside. On the headland, enclosed between this inlet and the open sea, a few hundred colonists disembarked, and hastily secured themselves from the wild tribes of the inland, by running some rough sort of a stockade across the ground from beach to beach. Thus was founded the city of Byzantium...

Using clear and eminently readable prose, Charles Oman describes the rise and fall of a great empire. 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. Oman was an early apologist for the Byzantines, and sought to refute the reputation of degeneracy and weakness that had been given to that civilization by prior historians.
