Constantine
The emperor Constantine I (or the Great) did not move the imperial capital of the roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium. He moved the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed after himself -- Constantinople (City of Constantine). Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.Nicomedia and Milan had been designated as the imperial capitals of the east and west respectively by the emperor Diocletian. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital before Constantine.
The Capital of the empire was not moved from Rome to Byzantium. The imperial capital of the eastern part of the empire was moved from Nicomedia (in northwetern Turkey) to nearby Byzantium by Constantine I in 330 BC. The capital of the western part of the empire remained Milan. Rome had ceased to be an imperial seat when Nicomedia and Milan were established as the imperial capitals of the two parts of the empire (286 BC) which were ruled by two co-emperos, one for each part. Rome became the nominal capital of the whole empire. Byzantium was renamed Constantinople.

Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine). Contrary from it is sometimes though, he did not move the capital from Rome. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, who designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey, not far from Byzantium) 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 of the empire.

Theodosius I. the Great 347-395 became Roman Emperor in 388 AD and ordered the Roman Empire to be divided after his death between his incompetent sons Honorius who took over the West Roman Empire and Arcadius who reigned over East-Rome or Byzance with his capital Constantinople. So the Roman Empire capital was not moved to Constantinople but the Empire was split in West- and East-Rome. A+ls-----Constantine
