Who is Constantinopolis? [gelöst]

Hello,
I have a question: I see that a number of Roman coins seem to bear the bust of “Constantinopolis/Constantinople” and I was wondering if that is a personification of the city or its patron deity or something, because I got no answer to this from some minutes’ googling (at first I assumed it was just a typo, possibly Constantine or such, but there are too many Constantinoples in the descriptions of coins for it to be an error). So who is Constantinopolis, then?

Hello,
For me it's the personification / allegory of Constantinople : this bust appears on the commemorative issues made for this city,

Same about the commemorative issues of Rome : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces148805.html
We have the "VRBS ROMA" legend on it, what means the bust reprensents "Roma" on this coin.

Constantinopolis is the city Istambul in present Turkey ..
At the past that was its name ..

We are speaking about the helmeted bust on this type of coins : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces50661.html
It doesn't represent an emperor, but the allegory of the city, like the VRBS ROMA type.

Constantinopolis is the old name of Istambul, of course, but it wasn't the question here (unless I misinterpreted the question).

Cycnos got the question right — I know Constantinople was Istanbul, at least!

And it’s cleared now! Goddesses like Roma, Britannia, and Helvetia appear outside the numismatic context but I had never heard of Constantinopolis until I acquired that centenionalis. The other side had Victory/Victoria so I initially assumed the bust must be that of Constantine I, but later it turned out there were more coins with the bust of Constantinopolis...

I didn’t know the VRBS ROMA coins had a bust of Roma instead of an emperor, though (I don’t own one as yet). Seems reasonable to personify Constantinople, then.

Thank you for clearing my question!
