jan 1, 330 - Moved the Capital Rome to Constantinople

Description:

Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Constantnople in 330 for strategic reasons. This move would cause permanent damage.
By the end of the 4th century CE, the Roman Empire was permanently split into East and West halves. The eastern half of the empire, now known as the Byzantine empire, was thriving. On the other hand, the Western Roman Empire experienced a series of invasions, a declining economy, and poor leadership.
