Why was Constantine the Great so famous?
Constantine the Great was famous because he was the first Christian emperor of Rome. It was he who influenced the change in faith from the old gods to Christianity in Rome. Th…e epithet "the Great" was added to his name by Christians because he had provided so much financial and imperial support for their faith. The pagans refused to use this epithet because it was he who began the long persecution of the pagan religion. Some years after the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine declared that he had seen a sign in the sky, assuring him of victory under the Christian God. The Christian historian, Eusebius, recorded his assertion to this effect nearly a quarter of a century later, but even he believed that the emperor was not altogether telling the truth about his vision.

Did Constantine the Great have an education?
Yes, he did. Constantine was brought up at the court of the emperor Diocletian, where he received a formal education. He learnt the subjects Roman elite children studied: …Latin and Greek literature, Greek, rhetoric and philosophy. Constantine was much more that just a military man and he was not even just an officer. He started his career as the military commander (rather than just an officer) of the Roman troops both in Britannia and Gaul. This was because his father, Constantius, died just a year after Constantine left the imperial court and joined him in his campaigns in Britannia. Constantius had been appointed by the emperor Diocletian as a junior emperor in charge of Gaul and Britannia. This was the basis of Constantine's claim to the imperial title. He saw himself as being entitled to it as the son of one of the two junior emperors of the tetrarchy - rule by four, a system of co-emperorship with two senior emperors and two junior emperors set up by Diocletian. Constantine's father was a pagan, but as a child he hardly saw him because he was always away on duty. His mother was a Christian (later she became Saint Helena). At the imperial court he was in contact with prominent intellectuals, both pagan philosophers and Christian theologians. This provides part of the explanation for Constantine's straddling paganism and Christianity through much of his political career. (MORE)

What was the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of Constantine the great?
Constantine was a Roman. His ethnic and cultural background was Roman. Constantine the Great's father was Constantius, a Roman military commander from Dardania, an area in p…resent day Macedonia. He was appointed governor of the Roman province of Dalmatia. After this he became the chief of staff of Maximian, the senior emperor in the western part of the Roman Empire. He then was made junior emperor responsible for the Roman provinces of Britannia and Gaul under the tetrarchy (rule by four) established by the emperor Diocletian which had two senior emperors (Augusti) and two junior emperors (Caesars). He was junior emperor from 293 to 305. From 305 to 306 he was senior emperor in charge of the western part of the Roman Empire. Constantius was a follower of Roman religion, but was tolerant towards Christianity. During the great Persecution of Christianity of 303-311 he did not really pursue the persecution, limiting himself to a few token gestures, such as demolishing a few churches. Constantine's mother was a woman of humble background who is thought to have been from Bithynia, in north-western Turkey, but this is uncertain. It is not certain whether she married Constantius. Some sources say that she was his wife, while others say she was his concubine. When Constantius was made the chief of staff of the co-emperor Maximian, he divorced or left her and married Maximian's daughter, Theodora. Helena and Constantine were sent to the court of the other co-emperor, Diocletian in Nicomedia, in north-western Turkey. Constantine grew up in the inner circle of the emperor. Helena was a Christian. She made a pilgrimage to Palestine to look for Christian relics. Constantine gave her unlimited access to the imperial treasury for this purpose. According to Eusebius, a Roman historian, she had two churches built, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and the Church on the Mount of Olives, sites of Christ's birth and ascension. It is also said that she had the temple of Jupiter in Jerusalem knocked down. According to a later legend she undertook excavations and found three crosses. She then got a sick woman to touch them. The first two did not heal her, but the third one did. Helena declared this to be the True Cross (the cross used to crucify Jesus). Constantine had the Church of the Holy Sepulchre built on this site. Helena was made a saint. She is the patron saint of new discoveries. (MORE)
