The answer is Emperor Constantine.

He was a Roman King of Greek background who changed history by becoming the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity.

He also moved the capital of his Empire to Byzantium, modern-day Istanbul. The city bore his name for much of the next thousand or so years, being known as Constantinople.
