No. Byzantium was an Ancient Greek city. When the Roman Empire took it over, it was renamed Nova Roma (New Rome) and later renamed Constantinople (after its Roman founder). Today this city is known as Istanbul. When the Roman Empire fell, the eastern portion stayed in tact. This became known as the Byzantine Empire, named for the Ancient Greek city.
Constantine the Great redeveloped the city of Byzantium, turned it into the capital of the eastern part of the Roman empire (moving it from the nearby Nicomedia in northwestern Turkey) and renamed it Constantinople (city of Constantine) in 330. Nowadays Constantinople is the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The Emperor Constantine the Great (also known as Constantine I) moved the capital of the old Roman Empire to the Ancient Greek city in the East called Byzantium, and renamed this city as "Constantinople - the New Rome" in the year 330 AD. Constantinople remained the capital of the New Roman (or Eastern Roman) Empire until the year 1453 AD.
