Emperor Constantius made the Greek colony city of Byzantium the capital city (330), then called Constantionopolis (Istanbul) and named Nova Roma nin’(New Rome), and became the capital of the new political union that dominated Anatolia. After the death of the Roman Emperor Theodosius (395), The Empire was divided into two, and the region of Phrygia fell to the share of his eldest son Adios. Amorium was an important city in the time of the Byzantines, who maintained their dominance in the East after the complete disappearance of Western Rome.
