1453, a year that marked the end of an era
With one city's fall, a shift from Medieval to Modern
Constantinople, a name etched in time
For a thousand years, stood strong and sublime

Against foes that dreamed to take her down
She persisted, unbroken, a true crown
But tonight, everything changes
Guns fired, women weep, men yell in ranges

Praying to God for a savior's grace
To rescue their city, to restore its place
In history's twist, God answered their plea
Sending a new emperor, the one they'd need

Antonius, born of the seas
To lead the Romans, a new destiny
To reach another pinnacle of might
And end the city's terrible plight

1453, a year that will forever divide
Medieval and Modern, with a fallen city as the divide

1453: Revival of Byzantium

"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."

"It is sweet and honourable to sacrifice for my mother nation."

It is almost the end of the Muharam month of year 863 according to the Hijri calendar in the Ottoman capital city, which is also considered a start to the new year. But there are absolutely no one in the capital city who has the mood to celebrate or conduct any ceremonies, for obvious reasons unlike the good old days.

In the old days the Sultan would take the chance to have a celebration with his civil servants, military staff and citizens of the capital city to engage and have a closer relationship with them, boosting his own image among their hearts and minds spending money in exchange for support just like the ancient Roman traditions. The Sultan would issue a lavish bonus salary to his loyal servants, a grand gift to the ulema of mosques around the Sultanate, and hold luxuriant celebrations with feast for the citizens.
