The capital of the Roman Empire was not moved from Rome to Constantinople. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian. He designated Nicodemia (in north-western Turkey) 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. Constantinople was just 60 miles to the west of Nicodemia. Constantine's designation of Constantinople as his imperial capital did not weaken the western part of the empire. Diocletian had created a co-emperorship with his fellow general Maximian. Diocletian was in charge of the eastern part of the empire and resided in Nicomedia. Maximian was in charge of the western part and resided in Milan. After winning tow civil wars, Constantine became sole emperor. Therefore, one imperial capital was sufficient and no parts of the empire were weakened.

As the Eurasian peoples moved towards and into the Empire, The Romans could not match them in numbers, and started recruiting them into its army. While this stabilised the situation initially, the inevitable happened and the now-Gothic army took over in the Western Empire. The Eastern Empire was able to reform itself and continued on.
