What if Constantine chose a different eastern capital besides Byzantium.

For example, what if he set his eastern capital on the Asian rather than European side of the straits, Chalcedon, and it stayed there? What would the effects on later history.

Or, what if he had made Alexandria Troiias, the alleged old site of Troy/Ilium his capital. This is just south of the straits in Anatolia against the Aegean.

Or if he did it on the European side of the straits but in the Chersonese/Gallipolli peninsula,so on the Dardanelles, not Bosporus.
