Constantine moved the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped, renamed Constantinople and inaugurated in 330. Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part of the Roman Empire.

Did Constantine move capitals because of the pope?

No, there were no popes at the time of Constantine. Constantine moved the capital because of economic and logistical reasons. The eighth-century forgery now known as the Donation of Constantine claimed that Constantine moved his imperial capital to the east, in order to grant the pope temporal power in the west. However, nothing in this document was true.


Why do you think power moved east when Constantine moved the empires capital?

Power was always moving east even before Constantine moved the empire's capital. The western part of the region was already conquered. They moved east was into unconquered territory.


When did Constantine shift power from west to east?

Roman Emperor Constantine I redeveloped the Greek city of Byzantium, renamed it Constantinople after himself (it means City of Constantine) and designated it as his imperial seat. He also established a senate there similar to that in Rome. This shifted power from the western part to the eastern part of the Roman Empire only to a very relative extent. There had been co-emperorships with one emperor is charge of the west and one charge in the east (which thus distributing power both in the west and the east) for some time. Moreover, Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the Empire under the emperor Diocletian. He had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the capital of the east and Milan (in northern Italy) as the capital of the west. Constantine shifted his capital to a location only some 60 miles to the wast of Nicomedia. Milan became the capital of the west again under the Valentinian dynasty, which had a co-emperorship with an emperor in charge of the west (whose seat was Milan) and an emperor in charge of the east (whose seat was Constantinople). This arrangement continued under the Theodosian dynasty. The capital of the west was moved from Milan to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.
