Constantine I 'the Great' (Roman Emperor 306 - 337 AD) was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity.

In 312 AD, at the Battle of the Milivian Bridge, Constantine faced a formidable enemy Maxentius, whose army was twice as large.  Constantine reportedly had a vision of Christ, urging him to use the labarum, a military standard featuring the Chi-Rho symbol (☧), representing Christ. He adopted this symbol, marched into battle, and emerged victorious. This battle marked a turning point in Roman and religious history.

In 330 AD Byzantium became the new capital of the Roman Empire and was renamed Constantinople in his honour.

His reign marked the transition from pagan Rome to a Christian Empire, laying the groundwork for Medieval Europe.
