@@KAI-bk6vb It was however the closest thing we have to a Byzantine anthem. It was always sung after successfully defending Constantinople to praise Virgin Mary for saving the city.

@@Tiago-rz2hr It's not a reference to a game. It is a real chant which you can still hear in Greece before the great lent of Easter. Constantinople and probably many other cities were dedicated to Mother Mary. Greeks also sang this chant in some fights in the period of the greek revolution and many believe tha Mary helped them. So the game tool this song from the Orthodox chant not vice versa
Τη υπερμάχω στρατηγώ τα νικητήρια, Ως λυτρωθείσα των δεινών ευχαριστήρια. Αναγράφω Σοι η πόλις Σου, Θεοτόκε. Cumbato pro Tene, Oh Vitoriosa, che recatu de aflitzione, jubilos mannos, dados in sa Tzitade sa Tua, Teotoche.

@@dummyperson8879 Incorrect, the Roman Empire became officially Christian 50 years after the move of the capital from Rome to Constantinople. So pagan Rome was not always ruled by Rome.
@@KAI-bk6vb This is a hot debate, but I always considered the Western and Eastern Roman Empires to be direct successor states, but not Rome itself. They were the undisputed continuation of Rome, but they were two empires in a close union instead of one state. Cooperating in trade and (sometimes, but not always) their policy against "barbarians", but definitely having conflicting interests. TL;DR Rome in general also includes the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and fell in 1453 (or in 1461 if you count Trebizond as a legitimate successor), but the Roman Empire as a state of that name fell in 395. Both the West and East considered themselves Romans, just like both North and South Korean think of themselves as part of the Korean nation, but that did not make both Romes a single state.
Τη υπερμάχω στρατηγώ τα νικητήρια, ως λυτρωθείσα των δεινών ευχαριστήρια, αναγράφω σοι η πόλις σου, Θεοτόκε· αλλ' ως έχουσα το κράτος απροσμάχητον, εκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ελευθέρωσον, Ίνα κράζω σοι· Χαίρε Νύμφη ανύμφευτε!

Buna ziua! Draga Gabriel, de ieri ascult imnul acesta: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1tZysWbN1LI.html . Este acelasi imn, imi poti spune te rog?
Este vorba de imnul „Apărătoare Doamnă”. Iată istoria lui: *Imnul Acatist al Maicii Domnului* Sinaxarul atribuie originea sarbatorii Acatistului eliberarii miraculoase pe 7 august 626 a Constantinopolului de atacul conjugat al persanilor si avarilor. In timp ce imparatul Heraclie era atunci cu armata sa departe in Orient, patriarhul Serghie a facut procesiuni pe zidurile capitalei cu relicvele Sfintei Cruci, cu icoana "nefacuta de mana" a lui Hristos si vesmantul Maicii Domnului. El a incurajat tot poporul in lupta si a organizat rugaciuni de implorare a Nascatoarei de Dumnezeu. Ravna locuitorilor a fost atat de intensa, incat au reusit sa respinga inamicul, permitand astfel rasturnarea delicatei situatii in care se gaseau bizantinii si sprijinind astfel decisiv contraatacul lui Heraclie, care avea sa mearga din victorie in victorie, pana la recucerirea tuturor provinciilor luate de persi. In semn de multumire, intreg poporul capitalei si-a petrecut noaptea victoriei cantand in picioare imnul Acatist in sanctuarul Fecioarei de la Vlaherne. Ziua de 7 august a ramas de atunci o zi de comemorare solemna a "ajutorului pe care ni l-a dat Hristos impotriva vrajmasilor ce ne impresurau pe pamant si pe mare". Dupa transferul comemorarii initiale de pe 7 august in sambata Saptamanii a V-a, sinaxarele au adaugat si memoria altor asedii ale Constantinopolului din anii 677, 717-718 si 860, facand astfel din Acatist imnul prin excelenta al increderii poporului bizantin in ocrotirea Maicii Domnului, cum declara limpede faimosul sau "proimion" "Aparatoarei Doamne" - redat mai jos intr-o traducere literala: „Aparatoarei Doamne, ca una ce am fost izbăvită din lucruri cumplite, cele de biruință iti aduc tie, Nascatoare de Dumnezeu, ca mulțumire, eu, cetatea ta. Ci ca una ce ai stapanire nebiruita (invincibila), din tot felul de primejdii slobozeste-ma, ca sa strig tie: Bucura-te Mireasă nemiresită!” sursa: www.crestinortodox.ro/liturgica/viata-liturgica/imnul-acatist-maicii-domnului-70669.html
The basic gist is that the singer is thanking Theotoke, the "God-Bearer", for protecting the city of Constantinople. Greek lyrics: Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ τὰ νικητήρια, ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγράφω σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Ἀλλ' ὡς ἔχουσα τὸ κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον, ἐκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον, ἵνα κράζω σοιˑˑ• Χαῖρε, Νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε Greek lyrics (transliterated): Ti ipermákho stratigó ta nikitíria, os litrothísa ton dinón efkharistíria, anagráfosi i Pólis sou, Theotóke.

English translation: To the defender army leader, all) the jubilees entitled to You by Your city, God-bearer as gratitude expressives for being saved from woes Inasmuch as You keep the state invincible, deliver me from all kinds of perils, so that I can exclaim to You: Rejoice, Bride unwed
No, Constantine of the Christian Roman empire (not Byzantium. That's a name given to us much later by the west because they wanted to present the heretical Frankish "Holy Roman Empire" as the successor to the Roman empire, which existed a long time as the amazing Christian Roman empire, with its capital in Constantinople, after the pagan Roman empire, which persecuted the Christians & that had its capital in Rome ceased to be).
