But Rome had ceased being the capital of the Empire a hundred years prior to this, when Constantine moved the center of gov’t to Constantinople?

Not just Constantinople for the Eastern Roman Empire, but also Ravenna for the Western Roman Empire after 402 AD.

Diocletian moved the capital to Mediolanum (Milan) in 286. Honorius moved it to Ravenna in 402.
Rome wasn't the imperial capital during the various sackings by Visigoths and Vandals.
