Answer:

In A.D. 330, Constantine took a step that would have many consequences, good and bad, for the empire. He moved the capital from Rome to the Greek city of Byzantium, in what is now Turkey. This new capital is partly due to his decision to adopt Christianity, and partly due to the geography of the Empire.
