Constantine I or Saint Constantine, was Roman Emperor from the year 306 to 337 in Rome. Well known for being the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.Constantine and co-Emperor Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313, he was the first emperor who proclaimed tolerance of all religions throughout the empire.
The previous emperors before him persecuted the Christians because of their faith in God, and due to the fact that they refused to worship the Roman pagan gods. But; the more they persecuted them, the more they became stronger, the more they rebelled, and the more they increased in number.
So Constantine became the first Roman emperor who converted to Christianity, and through his conversion, he was able to win the trust of the Christians, control the Christian movement, create enmity between the Christians and the Jews, and also transform the Christian believers into a movement that keeps the pagan seasons (festivals) which are designed on the Gregorian calendar.
