Answer

Traditionally one of the roles of the emperor was "Pontifex Maximus ", or chief priest of the pagan religion. Constantine kept this title, although he refused to perform many of the duties associated with it.

Constantine's successors also kept the title, and it gradually became associated with Christianity. the title is now associated with the Catholic pope.
