The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, fragmented and survived a thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Constantine played an integral part in the transition and reorganization of a new empire that legalized Christianity and made a new capital of Eastern Empire Constantinople... the center of two continents. The name went through many changes after the Ottomans made the city more Turkish and shortened the name Constantinople to Istan-bolli and then to Istanbul.

There were two basic types of coins used in the early Byzantine Empire: the gold solidus and a variety of bronze coins. These coins would usually be adorned on the obverse by the current emperor with Christian symbols behind. In 696 AD Emperor Justinian II was the first to put an image of Christ on the front of a gold coin.

The Byzantine Empire finally fell in 1453, after an Ottoman army stormed Constantinople during the reign of Constantine XI.
