Constantine chose the site of old Byzantium for his new capitol because of its location. It controlled trade routes at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, which meant taxes and tolls for the city. These trade routes were both by land and sea. Hand and glove with this was defense. Constantine's military, if necessary, could easily defend the area.
Livy meant that Rome's location is very fertile, a good trade center, good weather.
It was located on a peninsula so it was a difficult place to attack. It also was located between major land and sea trade routes so the city prospered.
Constantinople is located between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea which means there was a lot of trade during the ancient times and probably still do today and there was also a canal near by so they could build a boat and flea if they had to.
