Notes
Constantine the Great (about ad 274-337), Roman emperor (306-37), the
first Roman ruler to be converted to Christianity. He was the founder
of Constantinople (present-day Ìstanbul), which remained the capital
of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire until 1453.
Early Life
Constantine was born Flavius Valerius Constantinus at Nis in what is
now Yugoslavia, son of the commander Constantius Chlorus (later
Constantius I) and Helena (later Saint Helena), a camp follower.
Constantius became co-emperor in 305. Constantine, who had shown
military talent in the East, joined his father in Britain in 306. He
was popular with the troops, who proclaimed him emperor when
Constantius died later the same year. Over the next two decades,
however, Constantine had to fight his rivals for the throne, and he
did not finally establish himself as sole ruler until 324.
Following the example of his father and earlier 3d-century emperors,
Constantine in his early life was a solar henotheist, believing that
the Roman sun god, Sol, was the visible manifestation of an invisible
“Highest God” (summus deus), who was the principle behind the
universe. This god was thought to be the companion of the Roman
emperor. Constantine's adherence to this faith is evident from his
claim of having had a vision of the sun god in 310 while in a grove of
Apollo in Gaul. In 312, on the eve of a battle against Maxentius
(circa 250-312), his rival in Italy, Constantine is reported to have
dreamed that Christ appeared to him and told him to inscribe the first
two letters of his name (XP in Greek) on the shields of his troops.
The next day he is said to have seen a cross superimposed on the sun
and the words “in this sign you will be the victor” (usually given in
Latin, in hoc signo vinces). Constantine then defeated Maxentius at
the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, near Rome. The Senate hailed the
victor as savior of the Roman people. Thus, Constantine, who had been
a pagan solar worshiper, now looked upon the Christian deity as a
bringer of victory. Persecution of the Christians was ended, and
Constantine's co-emperor, Licinius (270?-325), joined him in issuing
the Edict of Milan (313), which mandated toleration of Christians in
the Roman Empire. As guardian of Constantine's favored religion, the
church was then given legal rights and large financial donations.
Sole Ruler
A struggle for power soon began between Licinius and Constantine, from
which Constantine emerged in 324 as a victorious Christian champion.
Now emperor of both East and West, he began to implement important
administrative reforms. The army was reorganized, and the separation
of civil and military authority, begun by his predecessor, Diocletian,
was completed. The central government was run by Constantine and his
council, known as the sacrum consistorium. The Senate was given back
the powers that it had lost in the 3d century, and new gold coins
(solidi) were issued, which remained the standard of exchange until
the end of the Byzantine Empire.
Constantine intervened in ecclesiastical affairs to achieve unity; he
presided over the first ecumenical council of the church at Nicaea in
325. He also began the building of Constantinople in 326 on the site
of ancient Greek Byzantium. The city was completed in 330 (later
expanded), given Roman institutions, and beautified by ancient Greek
works of art. In addition, Constantine built churches in the Holy
Land, where his mother (also a Christian) supposedly found the True
Cross on which Jesus was crucified. The emperor was baptized shortly
before his death, on May 22, 337.
Evaluation
Constantine unified a tottering empire, reorganized the Roman state,
and set the stage for the final victory of Christianity at the end of
the 4th century. Many modern scholars accept the sincerity of his
religious conviction. His conversion was a gradual process; at first
he probably associated Christ with the victorious sun god. By the time
of the Council of Nicaea (325), however, he was completely Christian,
but still tolerated paganism among his subjects. Although criticized
by his enemies as a proponent of a crude and false religion,
Constantine strengthened the Roman Empire and ensured its survival in
the East. As the first emperor to rule in the name of Christ, he was a
major figure in the foundation of medieval Christian Europe.

Notes
Constantius III (died 421), Western Roman emperor (421). A general in
the service of the Western emperor Honorius (384-423), Constantius
became virtual ruler of the western provinces in 414, when he forced
the Visigoths out of Gaul into Spain. In 417 he married Honorius's
sister, Galla Placidia. The next year he recalled the Visigoths from
Spain and established a kingdom for them in southern Gaul under their
ruler Wallia (reigned 415-19). During the last year of his life,
Constantius was officially recognized by Honorius as co-emperor.
