How did Constantine I encourage people to settle in Constantinople?

To encourage people to settle in his new capital of Constantinople, Constantine I offered significant incentives to those who would fill the city's empty reaches beyond the old walls. These inducements included the provision of free bread and the granting of citizenship to new settlers.1

Additionally, the city's rapid population growth was supported by the various favors Constantine granted to immigrants. Beyond these specific incentives for settlers, the city was made an attractive destination through the construction of imperial buildings, such as a huge palace, legislative halls, and imposing churches, as well as the decoration of its streets with numerous statues brought from other cities.21
