Western Romans in Constantinople


Recommended Posts

I know that once Constantine established Constantinople that many senators and the well-to-do from Rome moved there permanently. Did these Western Romans, Latin-speaking and former residents of the Latin Patriarchy, constitute a separate community in the Eastern Empire's capital? Does anyone have any sources on what became of these transplants?

What do you mean by 'residents of the Latin Patriarch'?

 

 

Thanks for the question. I mean that most Christians from the City of Rome would have been under the Pope, Patriarch of the West. The city of Constantinople was under the authority of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a different religious leader. From time to time these two patriarchs would disagree with serious consequences.

I see my error. I should have written "Latin Patriarchy." I've corrected the mistake.
