He moved the capital to Byzantium, which was renamed Constantinople later.

Constantine renamed Byzantium Roma Nova, but the name did not catch on. People preferred to call it Constantinople This was the new capital of the east. The previous one was Nicodemia, in northwest Turkey, not far from Constantinople. Milan was the capital of the west and Rome continued to be the nominal capital of the empire.
