Constantine aimed to establish Constantinople as a new capital that would rival the grandeur of ancient cities, including Athens, but with a distinct vision. He sought to create a Christian center of power, incorporating monumental architecture and urban planning that reflected Roman and Hellenistic influences. While he admired the aesthetic and cultural achievements of Athens, Constantinople was designed to symbolize the unity of the Roman Empire and the Christian faith, setting it apart from its classical predecessors.
