It was probably Rome, the capital of Italy now. By Hanna
In the Later Roman Empire Constantinople was the capital of the eastern part of the empire and Milan was the capital of the western part.
Rome Italy was not a country on its own back then, but the center of the great Roman empire. Rome was the capital of the early Roman empire, and also the capital of the Western Roman empire.
Constantine the Great
Milan in the Western Empire and Byzantium in the Eastern Empire.
After the reign of Constantine I, Constantinople became the capital of the eastern pert of the Roman Empire. Mediolanum (Milan, in northern Italy) became the capital of the western part of the empire. Milan had been designated as the capital of the west by Diocletian (Constantine's predecessor) who had also designated Nicomedia as the capital of the east. Constantinople replaced Nicomedia as the capital of the east. The capital of the western part of the empire was moved to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.
The capital of the Roman Empire was not moved from Rome to Constantinople. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian. He designated Nicodemia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part. Constantinople was just 60 miles to the west of Nicodemia. Constantine's designation of Constantinople as his imperial capital did not weaken the western part of the empire. Diocletian had created a co-emperorship with his fellow general Maximian. Diocletian was in charge of the eastern part of the empire and resided in Nicomedia. Maximian was in charge of the western part and resided in Milan. After winning tow civil wars, Constantine became sole emperor. Therefore, one imperial capital was sufficient and no parts of the empire were weakened.
