There were two called Constantine, the most famous being Constantine the Great, who became Emperor from 306 until his death in 337 AD. The son of army officer Flauvius Constantius and his wife Helena, he was the first Roman Emperor to embrace Christianity- in 227 he summoned an Ecumenical Council at Nicea where the Nicene Creed was adopted, and the date of Easter fixed. He was 63 years old when he died.
He was succeeded by his son Constantine II, who was meant to serve as co-Emperor alongside his two brothers. However, he attempted to excede his rights of primogeniture and died after a 'reign' of only 3 years at the age of just 24, when attempting to re-take Italy for the Roman Empire which was collapsing under successive massive raids by Goth and Hun barbarian tribes, largely due to having overstretched the limits of it's power.
