Western Roman Empire
Capitals: Rome, later also Milan and Ravenna
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Roman_Empire
". . .Rome was the most politically important, richest and largest city in the Western world, and remained so after the Empire started to decline and was split, even if it ultimately lost its capital status to Milan and then Ravenna. . ."

". . . In the 4th century, at the time of the bishop Saint Ambrose and Emperor Theodosius I, the city was briefly the capital of the Western Roman Empire. . ." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan
". . .In 402, Emperor Honorius transferred the capital of the Western Roman Empire from Milan to Ravenna. The transfer was made primarily for defensive purposes: Ravenna was surrounded by swamps and marshes and had ease of access to Imperial forces of the Eastern Roman Empire. . ."

Rome actually remained the capital of the Western Roman empire. Milan and Ravenna also served as the capital. The Capital of the Eastern Empire was Constantinople.

I think you may be referring to the period of time when the empire was divided as much by religion as by territory. Check out the link below and Pope Leo I. Gaul is your target I think. good luck.
