I'm curious as to how the Eastern Roman Empire would function if instead of being based in a new city at Byzantion, it instead refocused around the Nile Delta and a Pharaohs Canal.

What would it look like? Would there be a new city, and if so, where? What relation would such a city have with existing Nile Delta cities - what impact would this have in the long term?
