Respuesta :

1. Constantine the Great moved the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicodemia (in northwestern Turkey) to nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped and turned it into the capital of this part of the empire in 330 and renamed it Constantinople. Emperor Diocletian had created two imperial capitals in 286.

  • Byzantium was on the trade route between Europe and Asia and was bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
  • Traders stopping in Byzantium would be exposed to Christianity and spread it to other countries.
  • Byzantium was far from Rome and was located on a strait, which made it difficult for enemies to attack the city.
