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. Yes, I know that but they weren't necessarily Greeks. Actually western Anatolia had been exclusively ethnically and linguistically Greek for many centuries when Constantinople had been founded. I pointed this out in another post. The people in Turkey/Anatolia are just as likely to be Arabs or Semites as to be Greek. You seem to think that the Greeks moved in during the rise of Alexander the Great and then the doors were shut. The situation in the ME has always been much more fluid than that.
