Constantine I redeveloped the city of Byzantium and turned it into the new capital of the eastern part of the empire. Byzantium was renamed Constantinople. Constantinople was the capital of the eastern part of the empire, not the whole of the empire. Constantine I moved this capital from Nicomedia (just 52 miles further west, in northwestern Turkey) to Constantinople. The Capital of the western part of the empire was Milan. Remember too, that although Constantinople was a capital, it was not a Christian capital. It was simply the capital.
Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 and is now called Istanbul.
