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

"Sequiturque patrem non passibus aequis »

"He follows his father, but not with equal steps."

- Virgil, Aeneid (29–19 BC), Book II, line 724

Resigned to his fate, the king, isolated and unsupported, picked up the quill. His hand trembled as he signed the treaty, effectively capitulating to the demands imposed upon him by the Roman empire. As he set down the quill, Markos swiftly collected the document, still wet with ink, and held it aloft, proclaiming victory to his subordinates. "The emperor's got his wish! The Despot has signed the treaty! Long live the emperor! Long live the empire!" His men echoed this triumph, their voices filling the room with cries of allegiance to their emperor.
