Constantine the Great(230 C.E-337 C.E)


Q: What is Constantinople?
A: I created the city of Constantinople, he says, my new Capitol. But it was not it Rome, it was in the old city of Byzantium. I built many beautiful churches, fountains, monuments,private residences because I wanted my city to be more spectacular than Romes ever was.

Q: How did you make Christianity Legal?

A: Well in One of the wars I fought, the Battle of Milvian Bridge, I dedicated it to God, because before the battle my troops and I saw a vision, we saw a light in the sky and god said “in this sign conquer” and there was a cross. And after this I made Christianity legal, I was the first Emperor to openly worship God, let alone make it legal.

Q: Why is Constantine important?

A: He is important because without him making Christianity legal it might never have spread into England in the future.
