How long did Constantinople remain a roman power

Constantinople remained a Roman imperial capital for about 1,123 years , from its founding in 330 to its fall in 1453. It also stayed the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire after the Western Empire ended in 476 , which is why it’s often described as the Roman power center that outlasted Rome itself.
