Historical background
CONSTANTINOPOLIS
(330-348)
After the capture of Rome on October 28, 312, Constantine did not stay in the capital. He moved to Arles, which almost became the new capital of the Empire. After 324 and the victory over Licinius, Constantine decided to build a new capital on the borders of Europe and Asia, on the banks of the Bosphorus, resurrecting ancient Byzantium. Rome is already no longer in Rome and Constantinople has not yet been born. Constantin dedicates his new Christian capital in May 330. It will be the new Rome. The old senatorial aristocracy never forgives him. The end of Rome, if not the Roman Empire, has just begun.
