Constantine: Caesar 306-307 AD; Filius Augustorum 307-309 AD; Augustus 309-337 AD. A vain, self-important, effeminate man who loved to adorn his body, including the full length of his arms, with jewellery. He had his son Crispus executed on trumped-up charges of incest and boiled his own wife, Fausta, to death. He robbed Rome of most of its treasures and moved them to his self-named new capital city of Constantinople where they were lost or destroyed when that city fell to the Muslims. In AD 330 he erected in the forum of Constantinople a huge, gilded statue of Sol which he had stolen from the temple in Heliopolis, Syria. The head of Sol was changed to resemble Constantine and inscribed \"Constantino solis instar fulgenti\", and citizens were forced to worship him as the sun-god.

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus

(27 February c. 272 -22 May 337), commonly knownasConstantine I,Constantine the Great, or (amongEastern Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox,Oriental OrthodoxandByzantine CatholicChristians)Saint wasRoman emperorfrom 306, and the undisputed holder of that office from 324 until his death in 337. Best known for being the firstChristianRoman emperor, Constantine reversed thepersecutionsof his predecessor,Diocletian, and issued (with his co-emperorLicinius) theEdict of Milanin 313, which proclaimedreligious tolerationthroughout the empire.TheByzantineliturgical calendar, observed by theEastern Orthodox ChurchandEastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his motherHelenaas saints. Although he is not included in theLatin Church\'slistof saints, which does recognize several other Constantines as saints, he is revered under the title \"The Great\" for his contributions toChristianity.

Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony ofByzantiuminto a new imperial residence,Constantinople, which would remain the capital of theByzantine Empire.
