1 janv. 306 - Constantine becomes Emperor

Description:

Before this, Rome persecuted the Christians. Constantine was Rome's first Christian emperor and he is considered to have been a strong ruler. He believed that Rome as a city was too far away from vital areas of the empire to be of value from a governmental level. Constantine, therefore, moved the capital of the empire to a new city – Constantinople. This was a new city that was built on the old city of Byzantium.

This turned out to be a poor decision. Constantinople was to far from Rome and in the eastern empire. This left the western empire very vulnerable.
