Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine). Contrary from it is sometimes though, he did not move the capital from Rome. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, who designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey, not far from Byzantium) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.
The Roman capital was not moved to Constantinople. What Constantine the Great did was to move the imperial capital of the eastern part of the empire from Nicomedia (in northeastern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople. Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part the Roman Empire. An imperial capital in the west and one in the east had been established by emperor Diocletian not long before Constantine's rule. The new imperial capitals were created to bring imperial administration closer to the troubled frontiers of the empire than Rome. Rome became the nominal capital of the empire.
Constantine the Great built his imperial capital on the eastern tip of north-eastern Greece. He redeveloped Byzantium and renamed after himself: Constantinople, which means City of Constantine. Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the empire under Diocletian, his predecessor. Diocletian created the tetrarchy (rule by four) in which the empire was rules by two senior emperors ans two junior ones. The also created an imperial seat for each emperor. These were Nicomedia (modern Iztmit, in north-western Turkey), Mediolanum (Milan, in northern Italy), (Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica, near Belgrade, Serbia), and Augusta Trevorum (Triers, in south-western Germany .In actual fact, Constantine shifted his capital slightly to the west. Constantinople was 60 miles to the west of Nicomedia, which had been the imperial seat of Diocletian.

The capital of the Roman Empire was not moved from Rome to Constantinople. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian. He designated Nicodemia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part. Constantinople was just 60 miles to the west of Nicodemia. Constantine's designation of Constantinople as his imperial capital did not weaken the western part of the empire. Diocletian had created a co-emperorship with his fellow general Maximian. Diocletian was in charge of the eastern part of the empire and resided in Nicomedia. Maximian was in charge of the western part and resided in Milan. After winning tow civil wars, Constantine became sole emperor. Therefore, one imperial capital was sufficient and no parts of the empire were weakened.

The emperor Diocletian designated Nicodemia (in northwester Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. in 330 Constantine the Great moved it to the nearby Byzantium, which he had redeveloped and renamed Constantinople (which means the city of Constantine). Diocletian also designated Milan (not Rome) as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.
Emperor Constantine reunited the Roman Empire in 324 AD after it had been split by Emperor Diocletian. But soon after his death the empire would again be divided. The east would survive; the west would fall
