When the Bishop of Rome took power after Constantinople (now Istanbul ) became the capital of the empire, ideological differences became manifest between the East and West. Eastern Christians looked more readily to Constantinople , its Emperor and its bishop. Meanwhile, Western Europeans tended to look to the missionaries sent by Rome and to the Holy Father of Rome for faith and guidance. Ultimately, a split occurred between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.

Diocletion was the emperor when he put into effect the reform of dividing Rome into two parts, Eastern and Western. Diocletion kept the power in the West where Rome was still the capital. His co-emperor was CONSTANTINE. Constantine was the emperor for Eastern Rome. He created his capital on the strait that connected the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

All "western civilizations" can find their roots in the original capital, Rome. Also, after Rome "fell" (meaning the western half) the eastern half still thrived for many years.
