The capital of "New Rome" was Constantinople, formerly Byzantium, now Istanbul.
The port city of Byzantium is at farthest southeastern point of Europe, adjacent to Asia Minor. The city was selected for its position controlling the Straits of Bosporus. Since the city was established under the instructions of the Roman Emperor Constantine I the Great, it was renamed in his honor as Constantinople and survived the Ottoman Empire (1922 AD) although since 1453 it had a second name given by its Ottoman Turk conquerors, which was Istanbul.

The Roman Empire split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire primarily due to administrative and logistical challenges in governing its vast territories. By the late 3rd century AD, Emperor Diocletian enacted reforms that divided the empire into smaller, more manageable regions, a process further solidified by Constantine the Great, who established Constantinople as the capital of the Eastern Empire. This division allowed for more localized governance but ultimately led to divergent political, cultural, and economic developments, culminating in the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD while the Eastern Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued for nearly another thousand years.
