We just learned about the life of monks, called Monasticism.
Another part of early Christianity is the city of Constantinople.
In the old Roman empire, the head of the capital was the city of Rome in Italy.
When Constantine was the emperor, he wanted to make a new city to rule from that wasn't Rome. In the city of Byzantium in what is now the country of Turkey he built up the city and called it "Nova Roma" or "New Rome", and it was later called Constantinople.
In this city the emperor ruled the Roman empire and also helped churches get started and help spread Christianity.
