Yes and no - "Hellespont" is the name of the strait. Thrace is only one side of it.

It makes no sense as a name, Can.

"Romania" was never the name. Not going to happen, Can.

Trade of that nature was dominated by the merchant republics, and still would be here. You're not going to see it happen in the city. Only people in a position to do that are from said republics - think how badly that goes. Better for all to have the Emperor stay in power.
