The Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of his Empire from Old Rome to Constantinople the New Rome in 330 AD. He ruled as Emperor in Constantinople from 330 AD until his death in 337 AD.
Might I add that this was in 330 A.D. (C.E.) and is now Istanbul, a major (but not capitol) city in Turkey.
Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium (now Istanbul) in AD 330. The city was at first called New Rome, later Constantinople.
Constantine the Great redeveloped the city of Byzantium, turned it into the capital of the eastern part of the Roman empire (moving it from the nearby Nicomedia in northwestern Turkey) and renamed it Constantinople (city of Constantine) in 330. Nowadays Constantinople is the Turkish city of Istanbul.
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it, named it after himself as Constantinople (City of Constantine) and inaugurated it in 330. Nowadays this city is called Istanbul.

Constantine did not move the imperial capital form Rome to Byzantium. Rome had already ceased to be the capital when his predecessor, Diocletian, designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the empire and Milan (in Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire. Constantine redeveloped Byzantium and renamed it. It became Constantinople (City of Constantine). It was inaugurated in 330.
