Constantine did not make Rome the imperial capital. He designated Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed Constantinople (City of Constantine), as his imperial capital.
He moved the capital of Rome to Byzantium, later known as Constantinople, and named the city New Rome. Constantine was also the first Christian Roman emperor.
Constantine defeated Maxentius, an usurper emperor in Rome, who took charge of Italy. However, this did not make him the sole emperor. He became co-emperor with Licinius, the emperor of the west. Therefore, it was when he defeated the emperor of the east (Licinius) in his second civil war that Constantine became the sole emperor.
Emperor Constantine
Emperor Constantine, who moved the capital of the Empire to Constantinople, ALLOWED Christianity in Roman Empire and converted on his death bed through the Edict of Milan. His tolerance accepted Christianity in Rome, NOT his CONVERSION.

He moved the capital and made Christianity legitimate.
Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome. Correction. Constantine made Christianity a legalreligion. He did not make it the official religion. Christianity was made the official religion by emperor Theodosius in 380.
The emperor Theodosius I is the emperor who made the Christin faith the official religion of he empire. Not only did he make Christianity mandatory, but he persecuted pagans and destroyed heir temples.
he daclared an end to all attacks on christians an he moved the capital of the empire from rome to the greek city of Byzantium
Was Constantine the First. He conquered Rome in 312 and declared Christianity as the religion of the land. There is a disagreement here. Constantine never made Christianity the religion of the land, that was done by Theodosius. All Constantine did was make Christianity a legal religion. As far as being the first Christian emperor, that is disputed too. Phillip the Arab, who ruled from 244 to 249 AD is reputed to be the first Christian emperor as stated by the early church writers.
Constantine II, the eldest son of Constantine the Great. Emperor from 337 to 340. Eusebius claims in Life of Constantine that Constantine the Great confessed Christianity on his death bed, but this is unsupported by any other evidence.
