About Byzantium
Byzantium was a Greek colony settled by Megara around 657 BCE on the European shore of the Bosporus, on the site of the later Constantinople and modern Istanbul, Turkey. Xenophon and the surviving Ten Thousand passed through it near the end of their march, as he records in the Anabasis. Constantine refounded the city as Constantinople in 330, and it was the Byzantine capital until the Ottoman conquest of 1453. Jews lived there through the Byzantine centuries, and after the 1492 expulsion from Spain the Ottoman city received Sephardi refugees, among them the brothers David and Samuel ibn Nahmias, who set up a Hebrew press there in 1493, the first printing press in the Ottoman Empire.
