''' | '''Istanbul''' was the name used by at least the later half of the [[20th century]] for an [[Earth]] city which had previously been known as '''Constantinople''', and before that '''Byzantium'''. ([[NA]]: ''[[Shadowmind]]'') | ||
==Byzantium== | |||

The [[First Doctor]] visited the city in [[64]] [[AD]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[ | ''Byzantium'' was the most ancient known name fo the city. | ||
In the [[BC#4th century B.C.|4th century]] [[BC]]], the city's [[sewer]]s had a [[Weevil]] population, according to the [[Torchwood Institute]]. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]'') | |||
''Byzantium'' remained the name of the city around the time of [[Jesus Christ]]. The [[First Doctor]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]] and [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] visited the city in [[64]] [[AD]], and found it to be a city struggling with three groups vying for power: the [[Judaism|Jewish]] [[Pharisees]], the [[Roman Empire]] and the adherents of the fledgling [[Christainity|Christian]] religion. ([[PDA]: ''[[Byzantium]]'') | |||
==Constantinople== | |||
The name switched to ''Constantinople'' in the early part of the first millennium. In the [[3rd century]], [[the Doctor]] encountered [[Fenric]] in Constantinople, where he defeated him at [[chess]] and trapped him in a flask. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'') | |||
At some point, the Doctor bought a [[hookah]] in Constantinople, which he would later use as part of a ruse to evade the [[Chancellery Guard]] on [[Gallifrey]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'') | |||
In [[1914]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] visited Constantinople to locate and dispose of a malfunctioning [[Krivani]] interstellar drive. ([[ST]]: ''[[Ante Bellum]]'') | |||

Narratives in the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] have not, as of [[2011]], particularly defined when the city's name changed. | |||
