∙ 11y agoConstantinople and Rome differed simply because they were different cities. Constantinople was the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
Emperor Diocletian established Milan as the imperial capital in the west and Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) as the imperial capital in the east. With this Rome ceased to be the imperial capital and became only the nominal capital of the empire. Constantine the Great transferred the capital of the east from Nicomedia to Constantinople.
