"What Happened to the Romans After 1453? | Legacy of Byzantium

📜 In 1453, Constantinople fell… but the Romans didn’t vanish.
They lived on — not through empires, but through faith, names, and memory.

The Greeks still called themselves Romioi — Romans.
The Ottomans called them the “Rum milleti” — the Roman nation.
Even after the fall, the identity survived in homes, churches, and language.

Rome became more than a place.
It became a people.
