Constantine the Great

Constantine I, also called Constantine the Great, was the first Roman emperor who called himself a Christian. Constantine's Latin name was Flavius Valerius Constantinus.

The church declared him a Saint. Historians call him an evil man, who used religion merely as a means to an end. Take your pick.

As Roman Emperor, Constantine became ruler of a declining empire. Because of the massive persecution of the Christians, Christianity was a sensitive political issue in his days.

Constantine completely re-defined the Christian faith by claiming himself and his state to be Christian.
