Former name of Istanbul (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

constantinople

'former name of istanbul' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for constantinople that I've seen before include "seat for emperor" , "Istanbul formerly" , "capital no longer used" , "Former name of Istanbul" , "place that changed its name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
