Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium
Constantine impacted the Roman empire by his military victories which enabled him to consolidate the empire to a great extent. After decisively taking power, he was able to turn his attention to dealing with the domestic turmoil. He is most famous for leveling the religious playing field by the issuance (along with his co-ruler) of the Edict of Milan, which was a reinforcement of an earlier law which stated that all religions would be tolerated. He reimbursed some Christians for property loss suffered under the previous persecution, and he took a personal interest in solving the disputes among the Christians. This was not so much out of religious fervor, but out of necessity as the Christians were once again causing civil unrest , this time among themselves.
A consequence of the perception that the Christians could challenge paganism and empire was the Great Persecution of 303 to 311. But this was also evidence that Christianity had achieved a firm foothold andwas unlikely to be eliminated by persecution.
Constantine reversed the effect of the Great Persecution, returning Church property and granting the faith state patronage. He gradually began the long process of persecuting paganism, while encouraging conversion to Christianity. By the time of his death, Christianity was still a minority religion, but under his sons and successors it had real power against a fatally weakened paganism.

Constantine did not reunite the Roman Empire. The Roman empire was never split. Emperor Diocletian had created the tetrarchy (role by four) in 286. This was a system of co-emperorship with four co-emperors. Two of them were senior emperors (Augusti) in charge of the eastern part of the empire (Diocletian) and the western part of the empire (Maximian). The other two were junior emperors subordinated to the senior ones and in charge of the defence of the troubled frontier areas of the river Rhine in the west and the river Danube in the east. These were administrative and defence reform of a a single empire. The terms Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire have been coined by historians. The Romans had only one term Roman Empire. Diocletian stressed that the Roman Empire was indivisible. Constantine started as a co-emperor and became sole emperor in 324 after wining two civil wars, one against a usurper (Maxentius) an one against co-emperor Licinius.
