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 ruled Eastern Empire and chose to move its capital to Byzantium?

Constantine the Great moved the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman empire from Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium which he redeveloped and renamed Constantinople (which means city of Constantine) in 330. The imperial capital of the western part of the Roman Empire remained Milan, in Italy. Emperor Diocletian had created a system of co-emperorship and designated Nicomedia as the imperial capital in the east, and Milan as the imperial capital in the west in 286. Rome became the nominal capital of the whole empire. Constantine was not the ruler of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. He started as a military commander of the Roman armies in Britannia. He was proclaimed co-emperor for the western part of the Roman Empire by his troops in York. He then became sole emperor by winning two civil wars, one against a usurper in the west and one against the co-emperor for the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Therefore, when he created Constantinople as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, Constantine the Great was the emperor of the whole of the Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire capital of Byzantium received a name change after a famous emperor's death The new name became what?

Byzantium was an ancient Greek city which under Roman rule become Romanised. The emperor Constantine the Great designated it as the imperial capital. He had it redeveloped and he renamed it after himself: Constantinople, which means City of Constantine. This new name was already in use during his lifetime. After Constantine, Constantinople became the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. After his death Milan, which had been designated as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire by his predecessor (Diocletian), resumed its role as the capital of the western part. Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The use of the name Constantinople continued. However, the Turks also called it Istanbul. With the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1922, Istanbul became the sole name of this city.


What can you conclude from the fact that Constantine I moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium?

First of all. Constantine did not move the capital form Rome to Byzantium. Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the Roman Empire under his predecessor, Diocletian. Diocletian had created the tetrarchy (rule by four) with two senior emperors and two junrio ones. Each emperor had an imperial seat. The four capitals were Nicomedia (Izmit in north-western Turkey) Mediolanum (Milan, in northern Italy), Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia) and Augusta Trevorum (triers in south-western Germany). These cities were close to the frontiers of the empire, which had frequently come under attacks. Rome was side-lined because it was far from the frontiers.The fact that Constantine chose Byzantium (which was only some 60 miles west of Nicomedia) as his capital show that it was still important to have a capital closer to the frontiers. The fact that Constantine wanted his own capital shows his determination to be recognised as the sole rue of the empire and his sue of propaganda to bolster this. He brought the tetrarchy to an end by winning two civil wars and became the sole emperor. He dediced to bolster this by creating his own capital, which he named after himself (Byzantium was renamed Constantinople, which means city of Constantine). His new capital showed that he was in charge and was used as a symbol of the new dawn his rule would bring to the empire. The city was also given he honorary titles of 'the eastern Rome', 'the new Rome', 'alma Roma' and 'Roma Constantiniana)
