Constantine the Great

The Christian Emperor (272–337 CE)

Constantine I was the first Roman Emperor to embrace Christianity, forever transforming the empire’s faith and identity. His reign ended centuries of persecution and began the Christianization of Europe.

He founded the new imperial capital of Constantinople, blending Roman strength with Eastern vision — a city that would stand for over a thousand years.

“In this sign, you will conquer.”

Constantine’s fusion of faith, strategy, and statecraft shaped the course of Western civilization. His vision turned Rome from a pagan empire into a Christian world power.
