To understand the impact of Emperor Constantine's establishment of Constantinople on the Roman Empire, we can analyze each option provided.

A. The expense of building the new city impoverished the later Empire.
To determine if the expense of building Constantinople impoverished the later Empire, we need to consider the economic consequences of this undertaking. We can research historical sources that detail the construction of Constantinople and its impact on the Roman Empire's financial resources. This way, we can identify whether the building of the city had detrimental effects on the empire's wealth.

B. The pope moved his headquarters from "Old Rome" to "New Rome."
To ascertain if the pope relocated his headquarters from "Old Rome" (the original city of Rome) to "New Rome" (Constantinople), we can refer to historical records. By studying the movements and decisions made by the popes during that time, we can determine if there was a shift in the papal headquarters from Rome to Constantinople.

C. The empire became divided into an eastern and a western half.
To assess whether the establishment of Constantinople led to the division of the Roman Empire into eastern and western halves, we can investigate the historical events surrounding this period. By studying the political and geographical changes that occurred, including the shift in the capital from Rome to Constantinople, we can determine if the empire became divided.

D. "New Rome" forged an identity that ceased to be genuinely Roman.
To understand if Constantinople created an identity that diverged from the Roman identity, we can examine historical records, cultural artifacts, and literary sources. By comparing the characteristics and values associated with Roman identity and those associated with Constantinople, we can determine if the new city developed a distinct and separate identity.

To answer the original question fully, it may be necessary to conduct further research and analyze various sources to determine the accurate impact of Emperor Constantine's establishment of Constantinople on the Roman Empire.
