Byzantium’s natural harbor made it a useful center for shipping and commerce. Its location was also easier to defend, and it gave the empire better access to important trade routes between Europe and Asia. Rome had not been destroyed by invaders, and Constantine’s enemies did not control the Western Roman Empire, so those were not reasons for the move.
