<h2>Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople.</h2>
Additional details:
Constantine built his new capital city to resemble "Old Rome." Constantine made his own capital city in monumental fashion, but wanted to give it also the prestige and aura of the Roman Empire. The building of Constantinople took several years, and Constantine modeled it after Rome, with government buildings designed in Roman style.
