Both may well have been named after/for the Emperor Constantine, or perhaps different Emperors with the same name

Interesting.

Not sure if this is the answer you wanted but 'ost' is east in German,and west is 'westen'.Is this what you needed to know,or were you wanting something entirely different,and maybe its me that has my wires crossed here?
When you start a new patrol, the mission screen (F8), shows the area you are to patrol, the first line when you reach the area the second when you have patrolled for 24 hours, they stay with blue print untill the objectives are complete, then change to green print, well in this patrol area it doesn't seem that you can ever complete the objectives (mission or patrol area).:doh: Probably because it is outside the Grid area!:oops:
Hope I explained better.:yep:

According to that fount of all knowledge, Wikipedia, Constanza was originally called Tomis, but was renamed Constantiana by the Romans in honour of Constantia, the half sister of Constantine the great.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constan%C5%A3a

It was the same Constantine that converted Byzantium into the Eastern Roman Capital and was later renamed in his honour as Constantinople

And rather like how finance-based Londoners refer to their place of work as "in the city", Constantinoplites referred to their location as "in the city", "eis ten polis" in Greek. This caught on and evolved into Istanbul once the prevalence of the turkish language meant few understood the literal meaning of the words.
