Question

Why did Constantine move the capital of the Roman Empire

Answer 1

The Western part of the empire was becoming militarily vulnerable and he wanted the capital to be in a safer part of the empire. The western part of the empire was becoming populated more and more by Germanic tribes who were less "Roman" than the inhabitants of the eastern part of the empire and so an eastern location was preferable. Finally, the eastern part of the empire was wealthier and locating the capital there would allow better administration and military protection of the best part of the empire.

Answer 2

thank you
