Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped and renamed it Constantinople, after himself - Constantinople means city of Constantine. However, this did not lead to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not actually exist. This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.

Byzantium.
In the Middle Ages Constantinople was the capital of the Roman, Eastern Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman was the capital of the Roman, Eastern Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman Empires. Now a days changing capital is something countries dont do but Roman Emperor Constantine I identified the site of Byzantium as the capital because it was a safe place for a emperor to seat.
It refers to the Greek trading city of Byzantium where the Eastern Roman empire had its base. The emperor Constantine I (272-337AD) changed its name to Constantinople. The city is now called Istanbul.
Constantine promoted Christianity, but not in the Byzantine Empire. Constantine was emperor of Rome from 306 to 337 CE, but the Byzantine Empire came into existence in 395 CE, when Arcadius became emperor of the Eastern Empire, separating from the Western Roman Empire.
To make the Byzantine Empire bigger.

Byzantium later changed by the emperor Constantine to Constantinople which remained its name even though the city changed hands several times. After the first world war with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the new Turkish Republic renamed it Istanbul.
