Several persons in history bear the name Constantine but none was a philosopher. The first known is Constantine I the Great Emperor of Rome and introductor of the christian religion as the official Roman religion.
In the Roman Empire up to the time of Constantine, the official religion was Greco-Roman paganism. After Constantine it became Christianity.
Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium (now Istanbul) in AD 330. The city was at first called New Rome, later Constantinople.
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped and renamed it Constantinople, after himself - Constantinople means city of Constantine. However, this did not lead to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not actually exist. This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.
