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

"Nam unusquisque naturali necessitate bonum sibi appetit, neque est quisquam qui bellum istud omnium contra omnes, quod tali statui naturaliter adhæret, sibi existimat esse bonum"

"For every man by natural necessity desires that which is good for him: nor is there any that esteems a war of all against all, which necessarily adheres to such a state, to be good for him"

-        De Cive, Chapter 1 Section 13, Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury

"And in the end after much consideration and observation, we have decided to choose you, my friend Julian. I hope that you shall not disappoint me in your subsequent missions, and I hope that you shall never disregard your fellow commanders because you are given the command of the army. I shall not interfere with your command any longer, go, Julian, show me what you are capable of doing. I shall be here waiting for your come back in Ptolemaida."
