Constantine
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.
Constantine made Christianity a legal religion in the Roman Empire. He also moved the capitol of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople (modern day Istanbul).
Constantine defeated Emperors Maxentius and Licinius and reunited the Empire under his sole rule reversing Diocletian's splitting it into four.
Christianity was the religion enforced by Constantine throughout the Roman Empire. Hence the naming of the second Rome after him, ie. Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium.

No one. Rome is still where it has always been. Constantine the Great did move the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople.
Constantine I, also called Constantine the Great, became Emperor of Rome in 306AD. He became the sole ruler of the Roman Empire in 324AD.
Christianity was the religion enforced by Constantine throughout the Roman Empire. Hence the naming of the second Rome after him, ie. Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium.
Constantine modelled Constantinople on Rome, taking advantage of the fact that this city had seven hills like Rome. This had a Propaganda purpose. Constantine had Byzantium redeveloped, renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine) and designated it as the imperial capital as a symbol of the "new dawn" which his rule would usher in for the Roman Empire. Constantinople was given titles such as "The New, Second Rome,' 'Eastern Rome,' 'Alma Roma,' and 'Roma Constantinopolitana.' This "new", "second Rome" represented the beginning of a rebirth of the greatness of the empire, after a period of civil wars which was ended by Constantine winning them.
Constantine the Great did not do anything to the capital of Rome. He create a new capital for the Roman Empire. He designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped, renamed it after himself (Constantinople, which means City of Constantine) and inaugurated it in 300.
The emperor Constantine I (or the Great) did not move the imperial capital of the roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium. He moved the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed after himself -- Constantinople (City of Constantine). Milan remained the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.Nicomedia and Milan had been designated as the imperial capitals of the east and west respectively by the emperor Diocletian. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital before Constantine.
