You haven't cited any link which supports the idea that Greek culture died out long before the Roman empire arose or that Turkey was ethnic Turkish before the Seljuk invasion 1000 years ago. Yes, I did but you chose to ignore them. Maybe in your dreams, not on SI. And I never said that Turkey was made up of ethnic Turks during the Roman Empire. What I said is that Turkey was not Greece. You said ...Constantine I moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to CONSTANTINOPLE... I doubt the man in the street in CONSTANTINOPLE spoke Greek....since he was living in Turkey. So why did you call Roman era Constantinople Turkey? It wasn't Turkey during the days of the Roman empire. There were no Turks there or anywhere in Anatolia at the time. And yes, the man in the street in Constantinople at the time did speak Greek. This was true of all of western Anatolia. In the first century, the Apostle Paul crisscrossed western Anatolia and left a record of letters written to the churches he founded there .... all written in koine (or common) Greek.
