Constantine I "The Great"
307 to 337 AD
Son of Constantius I and Helena; husband of Minervina and Fausta; father of Crispus, Constantine II, Constantius II, Constans, Constantia, and Helena
Born as Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus on February 27, 272, he was Roman emperor from 306 to 337 AD. At the time of his fathers death, Constantine managed to be at his deathbed, where the loyal general Crocus and the troops loyal to his father's memory proclaimed him an Augustus. For the next 18 years, he fought a series of battles and wars that left him first the Western Roman Emperor in co-rule with an Eastern Roman Emperor, and then the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire. Constantine rebuilt Byzantium and called it New Rome, which was also popularly called "Constantine's City" or Constantinople. With the Edict of Milan in 313, Constantine and his co-Emperor Licinius removed all persecutions from Christianity. In 325, Constantine began the Roman Empire's unofficial sponsoring of Christianity, which was a major factor in the religion's spread. His has a reputation as being the first Christian Emperor.
