The New Rome
Constantine decided to move the capital to eastward to a site called Byzantium. This was his "New Rome". He called it Constantinople which is now known a Istanbul, Turkey. Constantine had an amazing location when he chose where his new capital would be. They were on a peninsula, most of the city surrounded by water. Plus, a thick wall and a moat would protect them for being easily attacked.
