The Emperor Constantine the Great (also known as Constantine I) moved the capital of the old Roman Empire to the Ancient Greek city in the East called Byzantium, and renamed this city as "Constantinople - the New Rome" in the year 330 AD. Constantinople remained the capital of the New Roman (or Eastern Roman) Empire until the year 1453 AD.
After the reign of Constantine I, Constantinople became the capital of the eastern pert of the Roman Empire. Mediolanum (Milan, in northern Italy) became the capital of the western part of the empire. Milan had been designated as the capital of the west by Diocletian (Constantine's predecessor) who had also designated Nicomedia as the capital of the east. Constantinople replaced Nicomedia as the capital of the east. The capital of the western part of the empire was moved to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.

Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped and renamed it Constantinople, after himself - Constantinople means city of Constantine. However, this did not lead to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not actually exist. This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.
