1453: Revival of Byzantium

AD1453, a year that divides Medieval and Modern.
Caused by the fall of one city.
Her name is Constantinople.
Stood there for one thousand years.
Strong and firm as always.
Persistent against all foes that dreamed to take her.
But tonight, everything changes.
The young sultan on the outside.
And the old emperor on the inside.
Guns fired, woman weeps, men yells.
They pray to god, for god will send them a saviour.
To save both the falling city, and their helpless souls.
In the twist of history, god answered their call.
For god has sent them a new emperor.
Antonius, came from the seas.
Who shall lead the Romans.
Back to another peak.
And end the terrible fate of the city.
In the year 1453.
