Site history & evidence

What is documented here

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

History

Recorded events

What Constantinople’s own record names in its history. None of the statements carries a date.

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.

Recorded, with no date on the statement

Connections

How Constantinople connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Succession in office 2

What this means

Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.

Does not imply parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
