After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Constantine I founded the Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire, on the shores on the Bosporus, in the city of Byzantium, which He renamed Constantinople after himself, in the year of 327 AD .

Yes it was- the former Greek capital was taken over by the Romans initially by the Roman General Sulla, and it became absorbed into the Roman Empire between 138-78 BC. It remained under Roman rule for 500 years before being relinquished by them in the AD 500s, as they focused on shifting the main base of their Empire Eastwards. This eventually mutated into the Byzantine Empire.
