Where did Constantine move the capital from?

No. Actually, Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium, which he re-named Nova Roma ("New Rome"). After his death, the city was renamed Constantinople in his honor. Today it is known as Istanbul.Actually that is incorrect. Because the Roman Empire was too large to govern, The Empire was split in two-the western part and the eastern part. The western part's capital was Rome, and the eastern's was Byzantium. Rome remained capital of the western part, although the western part declined while the eastern flourished. Byzantium was later renamed Constantinople in order to honur Constantine.Rome was not the capital of the west. It was Milan. Diocletian subdivided the empire into a western part and an eastern part. He was in charge of the east and co-emperor Maximian the west. Milan was turned into the imperial capital of the west and Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey into the imperial capital of the east. Rome became the nominal capital of the empire as a whole. Constantine moved the capital of the east from Nicomedia to Byzantium, which he redeveloped renamed either New Rome or Constantinople (some historians argue that it was called Constantinople from the beginning of its becoming a capital and that New Rome was only an honorific title for the city). The western part begun to decline some 70 years after the creation of Constantinople.


When did Constantine shift power from west to east?

Roman Emperor Constantine I redeveloped the Greek city of Byzantium, renamed it Constantinople after himself (it means City of Constantine) and designated it as his imperial seat. He also established a senate there similar to that in Rome. This shifted power from the western part to the eastern part of the Roman Empire only to a very relative extent. There had been co-emperorships with one emperor is charge of the west and one charge in the east (which thus distributing power both in the west and the east) for some time. Moreover, Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the Empire under the emperor Diocletian. He had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the capital of the east and Milan (in northern Italy) as the capital of the west. Constantine shifted his capital to a location only some 60 miles to the wast of Nicomedia. Milan became the capital of the west again under the Valentinian dynasty, which had a co-emperorship with an emperor in charge of the west (whose seat was Milan) and an emperor in charge of the east (whose seat was Constantinople). This arrangement continued under the Theodosian dynasty. The capital of the west was moved from Milan to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.
