Answer:

The government center of the Roman Empire moved to the east

Step-by-step explanation:

For years prior the creation fo the New Rome, or Constantinople, Rome was only a ceremonial capital, it wasn´t conviniently placed, the geography surrounding it made it difficult to reach and it was too far away from the rest of the empire, because of that Constantine founded the New Rome, better positioned and with much more acces to resources and trade routes, with this he moved the government center of the Roman Empire to the east.
