Byzantine or Byzantium - such exotic overtones!
Byzantine is so much more attractive than Byzantium, to me at least. Always conjures 'labyrinthine' overtones - not quite sure why unless it is some confused mental link via political intrigue and mysterious courts.
BTW the Vikings apparently called Constantinople Miklagard. That always added to the attraction. All those names for one city - how could it not be interesting? And I still haven't visited...
(maybe that multiplicity of names added to the labyrinthine overtones too?)
