Don't quote me on this, but Emperor Constantine the Great's reforms had a hand in that. Constantinople was built to replace Byzantium (first under the name New Rome, but the Romans liked him so much it was renamed Konstantinoupolis in his honor) and was made into the capital of the later Byzantine Empire. Should have added a footnote to that.

Milan I believe, I don't recall what Milan used to be called though, was after Rome. Rivana(sp) I think was the next.

As for the rest, 1 is Hydrogen (H), 45 is Rhodium (Rh), 75 is Rhenium (Re).
