:::Your source looks somewhat dubious: I couldn't find a valid source for the date 325 - the year is important as Constantine summons the [[First Council of Nicaea]] in this very year. In the 4th century, [[Socrates of Constantinople]] said that Constantine II build it as late as 346, attributing it to Constantine I seems to be an idea of the 9th century, and propagated in the 12th century bo [[Eusebius of Nicomedia]].
:::Without any doubt the most iconic building - the current structure - was mainly built under [[Justinian I]].
:::''Constantine built a new Christian capital in the East for the Roman empire that would be safe from the German invaders, and he called it Constantinople.'' , I'd prefer something like ''Constantine chose [[Byzantium]] as a new Christian capital in the East for the Roman empire that would be safe from the German invaders, and he renamed it Constantinople.''
