Best Answer

The Roman Emperor Constantine I the Great divided the Roman Empire to the west Roman Empire and the east Roman Empire and moved his capital city from Rome to the ancient Greek city of Byzantium which was renamed as New Rome. After Constantine's death his successors renamed the city as Constantinople, a name that survived its conquest by the Ottomans, until 1923 AD.
