    One of the most far-reaching decisions made by Constantine was the foundation of Constantinople (what was Constantinople) in 324 CE – the new capital of the rapidly Christianizing Empire. Unlike Rome, the city of Constantine was easily defensible due to its prime geographic location and well-protected harbors.
    Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), his capital, was dedicated in A.D. 330. Previously known as Byzantium, it had been under Roman control for well over a century, but Constantine rebuilt and expanded it on a monumental scale.
    It would perish during the Nika Revolts under Justinian in 532 CE. In 330 CE, Constantine consecrated the Empire's new capital, a city which would one day bear the emperor's name. Constantinople would become the economic and cultural hub of the east and the center of both Greek classics and Christian ideals.
    The city was thus founded in 324, dedicated on 11 May 330 and renamed Constantinopolis ("Constantine's City" or Constantinople in English). Special commemorative coins were issued in 330 to honor the event.
