Constantine was the First Roman Emperor who Embraced Christianity after He had a Vision that Said, "under this sign Conquer". The Sign was of the Fish, used by undercover Christians who feared Roman Persecution. Constantine mandated Christianity for his Soldiers, then made it the Official Religion of Rome. He founded Constantinople, the "City of Constantine", on the European North Shore of the Straights of the Bosphorus, to be Capital City of the Eastern Division of the Roman Empire. The Eastern Division later became the Greek Orthodox Byzantine Empire ruled from Constantinople by the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Christian Church. The Patriarch was both Emperor of Byzantium, and Leader of the Orthodox Church. This sets the Division lasting until today between Orthodox Russia and Eastern Europe, and the Catholic / Protestant Countries of Western Europe.
