last Last week, while in Istanbul, I was advised by chatting to various locals that who do not prefer the terminology is "Byzantium" but rather referred to it as "Rum" or Rumanos Orthodox (sp? I am not sure if I understood the word/spelling and I know what they said is not to be confused with Rumaniansthe Rumanian country)... Does anyone have any knowledge on this terminology/thoughtthe correct word they were referring to and the thinking behind it? I would be interested to learn more ... do we have an article on OrthodoxWiki about this - [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 00:47, October 29, 2008 (UTC)
