Hello @qdau What exactly happened on May 29, 1453?

Hey! May 29, 1453 was the fall of Constantinople - one of the most significant events in history. The Ottoman forces under Sultan Mehmed II finally breached the walls after a 53-day siege, ending the Byzantine Empire. The last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XI, died in battle that day. The city became the new Ottoman capital and was renamed Istanbul. This marked the end of the Roman Empire's last remnant and a major shift in power in the Mediterranean region.

Can you tell us more about the 53-day siege?

The 53-day siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE was one of the most significant events in Roman military history. Titus, who later became emperor, led four Roman legions to capture Jerusalem and crush the Jewish rebellion. The siege was brutal - the Romans systematically destroyed the city's defenses, breached the walls, and ultimately burned the Second Temple. The Jewish historian Josephus claimed over a million people died, though modern historians think the number was lower. It effectively ended the Great Jewish Revolt against Roman rule and led to the Diaspora. The Arch of Titus in Rome still stands today commemorating this victory.
