Civitas Schinesghe is a Latin term that refers to an ancient city-state in southeastern Europe called Byzantium, which eventually became Constantinople, and later Istanbul.
Imagine a big castle with walls all around it, like the ones you see in movies about knights and dragons. Inside that castle were people who lived together, grew crops and traded things like food, clothing and tools. That's like the city-state of Byzantium or Civitas Schinesghe.
In this city-state, there were people called citizens who followed some laws set by the king or queen and worked together to make the city grow and prosper. The citizens helped each other, protected each other and made sure the city was rich with trade and culture.
Over time, Byzantium became an important hub of trade and culture between Europe and Asia, blending different religions, languages and traditions. Today, the city is known as Istanbul and has a rich history and culture that reflects the legacy of Civitas Schinesghe.
