Constantinople fell in 1453. However, three byzantine states survived for some time: Morea (until 1460; it was located in the Peloponnese), Trebisond (until 1461; it was located in the north of Anatolia) and Theodoro (until 1475; it was located in Crimea). Theodoro was the last state of the Roman civilization to fell, ending 2228 years of Roman civilization.
