Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg were cartographers and publishers who collaborated on creating a famous historical atlas titled "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (translated as "Cities of the World"). This atlas was published between 1572 and 1617 and contained city views and plans from various regions around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

One of the notable city views in their atlas was of Byzantium, which was known as "Byzantium, nunc Constantinopolis" in Latin, meaning "Byzantium, now Constantinople." The map was published in 1574. Byzantium was an ancient Greek city that later became the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, commonly referred to as the Byzantine Empire. In 330 AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great officially established the city as the new capital of the Roman Empire and renamed it Constantinople, after himself.

The city of Constantinople held immense historical and cultural significance, serving as a prominent center of trade, culture, and religion for centuries. Eventually, in 1453, it fell to the Ottoman Empire and was renamed Istanbul, becoming the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" atlas by Braun and Hogenberg remains an essential historical source for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the cartography and urban development of various cities during the 16th century.
