The construction of Constantinople
On Tuesday January 22 2013 the pupils of 5th class of 1st Primary School of Asvestochori went for ” a journey in another time and space “.They travelled in Byzantium about 1700 years ago, when Constantine the Great moved there the capital of the Roman Empire. The challenge was big….. They had to draw, to engrave new borders, to get water and food and generally to satisfy the needs of the residents who the new capital would accommodate.So, they became landscapers, mechanics, craftsmen, gaffers, and under the emperor’s vigil look they made aqueducts, the Great Palace, the horse racing, the Agia Sofia, the houses of noble men and poor men. And most of all they secured the city with powerful walls, which made her impregnable for more than 1000 years. The result justified our young protagonists. The reconstruction of the City was so pretty that it had nothing to be jealous of the old Byzantine Constantinople.
