What was the effect of moving the capitol of the empire from Rome to Byzantium?

By the time of the establishment of Byzantium as the capital of the east, Rome had already ceased to be the effective capital of the empire and had became only a nominal one. Diocletian had turned Milan into the imperial capital in the west and Nocomedia (in northwest Turkey) as the imperial capital in the east as part of a system of co-emperorship.
Constantine merely moved the capital of the east from Nocomedia to nearby Byzantium. He redeveloped it and renamed it Roma Nova (New Rome). However, people called it Constantinople and the name stuck.
