Review by Horn Book Review

This book traces historical events and cultural practices in this city first called Byzantium in 657 B.C.E., later the Roman Empire's Constantinople, and in the present-day Istanbul in Turkey. The fluent text is accompanied by historical reproductions, lifeless textbook-quality illustrations, and a few contemporary photos. Boxed quotations, many from primary sources, are frequently effective. A time line is included. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
