Byzantion was a Megarian colony founded around 657 BC on the European shore of the Bosporus, where it controlled passage between the Aegean and Black Sea. In 340-339 BC, its resistance to Philip II of Macedon, aided by an Athenian fleet under Chares, preserved the city’s independence. Constantine I refounded Byzantion as Constantinople in 330 AD, making it the capital of the Roman Empire.
