Constantine I, better known as Constantine the Great, was one of the most influential emperors in Roman history. He rose to power during a period of civil war and political instability and eventually became the sole ruler of the Roman Empire.
Constantine is especially remembered for his role in the legalization and expansion of Christianity within the Roman Empire. Following his victory at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in AD 312, he adopted policies that favored religious tolerance and later supported the Christian Church.
In AD 330, Constantine established Constantinople as a new imperial capital, creating a city that would remain one of the most important centers of the Roman world for centuries.
