Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine/Eastern Empire. It wasn't the capital of the whole empire, but it was a major city for sure.
After ten years of civil war, where did Constantine establish the capital of the Eastern Empire?
The Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium, capital city - Constantinople (nowadays - Istambul).
Constantinople.
Constantine the great built an new capital in the Eastern Roman Empire. He moved the capital form Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) to Constantinople.
Constantinople did not have a capital, it was a capitol. It was the capital of the Byzantine or Eastern Roman empire.
Byzantium was a city and it was the capitol of the eastern Roman empire. The eastern part of the empire was/is often called the Byzantine. So to make it (hopefully) clear, Byzantium was the capital of the Byzantine empire.
Well, there were many. The most famous one is of course Rome, which was the capital until the fourth century, then for the whole fourth century Milan was the new capital, followed by Ravenna in 402 AD, and so on.
Byzantium, renamed Constantinople.
Constantine never had a thing to do with the "eastern" empire or the "western" empire. He moved the capital of the Roman empire to the eastern city of Constantinople. The connotation of eastern and western was not made by the ancients, but is a term invented by historians to clarify the part of the empire they would be writing about. The ancients considered the empire one, and they all considered themselves Roman.
