What conditions in Rome might have caused people to convert to Christianity?
Really, relatively few Romans converted to Christianity in the three centuries before the time of Emperor Constantine. Constantine made two important changes that would lead to many people adopting Christianity.Constantine gave state patronage to Christianity and ensured that those with ambition saw political advantage in becoming Christians. He also gave the Christian Church responsibility for distributing state-provided food for the poor. The Church was in a position to proselytise to its recipients and could show favouritism to those willing to adopt Christianity.A third factor formally occurred late in the century, when Christianity finally became the state religion of Rome, and the public worship of pagan gods was banned. The Church was finally in a position to persecute those who failed to show allegiance to the Christian faith.Quote"After facing nearly three centuries of hostility by Roman emperors, the persecution and martyrdom of Christians in Rome ended with the reforms of the Emperor Constantine (r. 306-337). Constantine was responsible for legalizing Christianity throughout the Roman empire. Constantine became a patron and protector of the church." see link History of Christianity in Romethere were no conditions. Constantine realized Christianity was spreading and on his deathbed he had made rome a christian place

What did Constantine do to show he accepted Christianity?
He prayed because He was close to death in war so he prayed that if God could give him victory he and his people will convert to Christianity. He was in critical battle by a bridge and a craft appeared in the sky in the shape of a cross. He took this as a sign that through the Christian Faith he would win. He put the cross on the armor of his army for everyone to see and when he won the war he assumed it was through Christianity or possibly was proven that his victory was through the Christian Faith.
Was Constantine's conversion to Christianity real?
Constantine attributed his conversion to Christianity to the vision he saw in the sky, presumably of stars (or other stellar objects) that formed the shape of a cross or something cross-like. This happened just before the battle of the Milvian Bridge, in 312. Constantine's actions after his victory at Milvian Bridge, over the usurper Maxentius, leads us to think that Constantine believed that his safety as emperor, and the safety of the empire as a whole, depended upon the Christian god, known to us simply as God. This is reflected in his actions to favour the Christians, and to assist in building churches. While the reality of Constantine's conversion has been challenged, historians have struggled to find another reason for his sudden favouring of Christianity. At the time of his reported conversion, Constantine was the emperor in charge of the Roman Empire in the west, where Christianity was still very much a minority religion. His conversion would not have served an immediate political end: it was an act of faith, in defiance of the odds. It is accepted that Constantine's reported failures at a personal level are a problem for anyone studying his life. Notable among these is that he had his most beloved and first son, Crispus, killed, and some time later also his wife, Fausta. A fifth century (and unfriendly) report said that these things happened after Fausta (Crispus' step-mother) falsely accused Crispus of intending to have an affair with her. If Constantine is judged to have been precipitate and overreacted in these matters, he is hardly alone in this regard. For someone with absolute authority, who is there to restrain him in his anger, or venality? For another example, we need look no further than King David. It is also acknowledged that Constantine only came relatively slowly to a proper understanding of Christianity. The coins minted during this period show the difficulty that even those close to him had in coming to terms with his new religion, and at the most only show that he was only gradually coming to realise that Sol Invictus, the "unconquerable sun," and Christ, should not be assimilated into the one new cult. On the other hand, he was already trying to help in solving disputes, such as the one tearing apart the Church in North Africa. Although Constantine was only baptised on his death-bed, that is not surprising in that age, and entirely understandable given the inherent difficulties involved in his self-appointed role as an emperor who was also a Christian. Indeed, a death-bed baptism indicates that he continued to trust in Christ for his salvation and retained the hope of eternal life right to the end of his life. Based on this evidence, it is difficult to say that Constantine's conversion was not real. Furthermore, despite the problems that it brought in its train, particularly when viewed from a modern perspective of the separation of the affairs of Church and State, it gave the Church an extended period of peace, and the chance for it to grow both numerically and geographically, without the opposition of the government.

Was Licinius related to Constantine the Great?
Both Licinius and Constantine held the title of Augustus in the Roman tetrarchy, and sought to become the sole emperor of the Roman empire. Although both were from the region of Dacia, it is unlikely that they were related. In order to boost his claim to the principate, Constantine claimed to be descended from Claudius II. For the same reason, Licinius claimed descent from Philip the Arab. Although both claims were spurious, they do show that the two claimants were not regarded as related.
