What king ruled over the powerful Eastern Empire and chose to move its capital to Byzantium?

Byzantium was redeveloped, turned into the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople in 330 by Constantine the Great. He was not a king, he was an emperor. He was not the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire either. To start with he was a co-emperor. There were several co-emperors who ruled parts of the Roman Empire. He was in charge of Britannia, Gaul and Spain in the western part of the Roman Empire. Later he became the sole emperor of the whole of the Roman Empire. Not long before the above, Emperor Diocletian designated Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan as the imperial capital of the western part of the Roman Empire. He co-ruled with co-emperor Maximian. He took charge of the eastern part of the empire and Maximian took charge of the western part. It has to be stressed that Diocletian did not split the empire, which remained a single and united empire. It was an administrative arrangement designed to improve the defences of the vast frontiers of the Roman Empire. Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans had only one term: Roman Empire. Constantine the Great moved the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia to the nearby Byzantium.

Who was the last Roman Emperor to rule a united Roman empire?

Theodosius I was the last emperor who ruled the entire empire. After his death (395), the there was a co-emperorship where is sons, Arcadius and Honorius, were in charge of the east and west respectively. This was a co-emperorship, not a division of the empire. There had been several co-emperorships prior to this. Historians say that the empire came to be divided after the death of Theodosius not because there was a decision to divided it, but because there was a loss of cohesion between the two parts. Soon after the accession of the two sons, the western part begun to crumble under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. It was unable to respond to the invasions because of infighting and intrigue for power struggles. East and west collaborated on fighting the invaders only once and this was a failure. In the end when there was a failure in governance in the west, the east interfered with the politics of the west. The last emperor in the west was deposed in 476, 81 years after the death of Theodosius.
